During his long career, Edward Dent wrote on a variety of musical
subjects, ranging from substantial articles in the most learned
journals to less weighty pieces in Radio Times. This volume aims to
reflect that variety. Some of the articles are now of primarily
historical interest, others offer insights of a fundamental kind;
all are informed by Dent's witty and distinctive prose style. In
editing this collection, Hugh Taylor has drawn on writings from
1903 to 1951 and included two pieces originally written in Italian
and published here in English for the first time. As well as
providing footnotes, which amplify certain of Dent's statements and
draw attention to subsequent research, Mr Taylor has listed sources
for Dent's many textual references and quotations. Brought together
in this way Dent's learned but always readable criticism will
appeal to the reader with a general interest in music as well as to
the music student and specialist.
Originally published in 1915, Government by Natural Selection looks
at the historical advancement of government through the lens of the
Darwinian theory of natural selection. The book examines the
history of government and its formation, right up until the early
20th century, when the book was first published. The book suggests
that there is a link between Darwinian theory and the development
of humans in societies, and that this in turn affected the
formation of government over the course of history. The book uses
not only Darwinian theory to examine history and the formation of
government, but philosophers from both antiquity and the 19th
century. This book provides a fascinating examination of politics
and history through the application of science, and will be of
interest to anthropologists, historians and academics of politics
alike.

Examining why the study of history as a science was not as advanced
as other disciplines, the author of this book, originally published

5G and related digital revolutions will require tens of thousands
of edge data centers. This book tells you how they work and how to
get them built.We are in the middle of the edge computing
revolution. Responding to demand for lower latency, telcos and
others are moving servers and storage closer to end users—away
from the "core" to "the edge." This requires the deployment of many
thousands of tiny edge data centers. The edge is a big, growing
business. Driven by 5G, connected vehicles, and industrial
automation, the "edge economy" is projected to reach $4.1 trillion
by 2030, with investment in edge data centers set to exceed $140
billion by 2028. What exactly is an edge data center? This book
explains what they are and how they work. It's early in the edge
computing life cycle, so there's time to get prepared for what's
coming. If you work in an industry that's transforming through
mobility, or any field that will leverage the edge for competitive
advantage, this book will help you understand how the edge data
center advances your strategic agenda.
