Winner of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections' (ARSC) Award for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research (2006) Echo and Reverb is the first history of acoustically imagined space in popular music recording. The book documents how acoustic effects--reverberation, room ambience, and echo--have been used in recordings since the 1920s to create virtual sonic architectures and landscapes. Author Peter Doyle traces the development of these acoustically-created worlds from the ancient Greek myth of Echo and Narcissus to the dramatic acoustic architectures of the medieval cathedral, the grand concert halls of the 19th century, and those created by the humble parlor phonograph of the early 20th century, and finally, the revolutionary age of rock 'n' roll. Citing recordings ranging from Gene Austin's 'My Blue Heaven' to Elvis Presley's 'Mystery Train, ' Doyle illustrates how non-musical sound constructs, with all their rich and contradictory baggage, became a central feature of recorded music. The book traces various imagined worlds created with synthetic echo and reverb--the heroic landscapes of the cowboy west, the twilight shores of south sea islands, the uncanny alleys of dark cityscapes, the weird mindspaces of horror movies, the private and collective spaces of teen experience, and the funky juke-joints of the mind.Binding Type: Paperback

Wonderful, sturdy shoe
Size: 9 Toddler, Color: Tan
I love this shoe. Unfortunately I ordered a size too small this time, but it really is a great shoe.

Great boots for fall and winter, but too short for deep snow.
Size: 9 Toddler, Color: Navy
This is the second round of these boots I bought for my kids. They are comfortable for all day at school, like sneakers. Perfect for wet days, feet stay dry and warm. They are not snow boots. We live in Boston and they are not for more than an inch or two of snow. I buy separate true snow boots for snow days (much warmer and taller boots).

Perfect Winter Boots
Size: 8 Toddler, Color: Navy
I bought these for a trip to Iceland for my little one. They held up perfectly to lots of walking and playing! No break in period, and my little one was comfy the entire time! Warm happy feet is what you can expect with these boots!

Cute but not totally practical
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Navy
These are cute and decent quality but they are so short they aren’t practical if you live where there is snow. Deep snow just ends up in the boot. Great for cold but no snow or slightly wet and muddy days.

They’re good but they don’t last
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Navy, Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Navy
Got them for my 5yo. They were not overly abused, but they got a big hold two-three months in. They’re unusable and I’m sad about the surprisingly poor quality for these boots.
