Zeitmaße is one of a group of four acknowledged masterpieces composed between 1955 and 1957 that together established Karlheinz Stockhausen as the leading figure in the European avant-garde. Of the four works, it is the only one that has not been thoroughly analysed from the composer's sketches and, for this reason, remains the least-well understood. In this volume, Jerome Kohl provides a much-needed analysis of Zeitmaße, considering its standing in the group and in the wider context of Stockhausen's output. Using recently published correspondence and other documentation from the period, together with surviving sketch material, Kohl investigates the compositional procedures employed in Zeitmaße and their evolution. He discusses the wide range of influences discernible in the work, from that of both past generations of composers and contemporaries, to the impact of Stockhausen's studies in acoustics, phonetics and information theory on his music. The book closes with an examination of the reception of Zeitmaße and its associated concepts in the years following its composition, and shows how the key concepts utilized in the work are themselves a reflection of the properties seen in the very Zeitgeist that produced them.

Radioisotope Applications Engineering is a comprehensive guide to the engineering applications of radioisotopes. Written by Jerome Kohl, a renowned expert in the field, this book covers the fundamental principles and practical applications of radioisotopes in a variety of industries, including medicine, agriculture, and environmental science.The book begins with an introduction to radioisotopes, their properties, and their uses in engineering applications. It then delves into the various techniques used to produce and measure radioisotopes, as well as the safety precautions that must be taken when working with these materials.The remainder of the book is dedicated to exploring the many applications of radioisotopes in engineering. Topics covered include radiography, nuclear gauges, radiation therapy, and nuclear power generation. Each chapter includes detailed explanations of the underlying principles and practical examples of how radioisotopes are used in real-world applications.Throughout the book, Kohl emphasizes the importance of proper handling and disposal of radioisotopes to ensure the safety of workers and the environment. He also discusses the regulatory framework governing the use of radioisotopes and the role of engineering in ensuring compliance with these regulations.With its clear explanations, practical examples, and emphasis on safety and regulatory compliance, Radioisotope Applications Engineering is an invaluable resource for engineers, scientists, and students working in the field of radioisotope engineering.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
