A squared plus b squared equals c squared. It sounds simple, doesn't it? Yet this familiar expression is a gateway into the riotous garden of mathematics, and sends us on a journey of exploration in the company of two inspired guides, acclaimed authors Robert and Ellen Kaplan. With wit, verve, and clarity, they trace the life of the Pythagorean theorem, from ancient Babylon to the present, visiting along the way Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, President James Garfield, and the Freemasons-not to mention the elusive Pythagoras himself, who almost certainly did not make the statement that bears his name. How can a theorem have more than one proof? Why does this one have more than two hundred-or is it four thousand? The Pythagorean theorem has even more applications than proofs: Ancient Egyptians used it for surveying property lines, and today astronomers call on it to measure the distance between stars. Its generalizations are stunning-the theorem works even with shapes on the sides that aren't squares, and not just in two dimensions, but any number you like, up to infinity. And perhaps its most intriguing feature of all, this tidy expression opened the door to the world of irrational numbers, an untidy discovery that deeply troubled Pythagoras's disciples. Like the authors' bestselling The Nothing That Is and Chances Are . . .-hailed as "erudite and witty," "magnificent," and "exhilarating"-Hidden Harmonies makes the excitement of mathematics palpable.

Excerpt from Hidden Harmonies Scene: The music room of mr. West's country house. At the back is a French window, showing the garden beyond. On each side of the window are shelves containing books and music. There is a door, R., toward the back, Nearer the front, on the same side, is a small table with a telephone on it. Opposite the table, L., is another door; beyond is a grand piano, standing slightly away from the wall, opened, the keyboard in full view of the audience Between the' door, L., and the piano is a music rack. A violin stand is placed near the piano. A larger table stands near the center of the room, with several books and magazines lying on it. A footstool lies near the table. There are several easy chairs in the room. The pictures are all of musicians or musical subjects, and the busts of several musicians stand on the to p of the book shelves. There is an electric bell in the wall, R. As the curtain rises the last notes of a violin solo are heard. Mr. West lays his violin on the table and stands looking at it. Mrs. Barrington enters from the left, hesi tates a moment and then comes forward. Mrs. Barrington. Is Mr. Thornton really coming this afternoon? Mr. West. I've heard nothing to the contrary, Mrs. Bar rington. (smiles at her). Mrs. B. I was just wondering who was to go 'and meet him. Mabel has been lunching at the Golf Club and she hasn't returned yet. Mr. W. (annoyed). Mabel is always at the Golf Club! (he turns away impatiently. She waits for him to speak again. He does not.)

Contributions by Christina Baade, Candace Bailey, Paula J. Bishop, Maribeth Clark, Brittany Greening, Tammy Kernodle, Kendra Preston Leonard, April L. Prince, Travis D. Stimeling, and Kristen M. Turner For every star, there are hundreds of less-recognized women who contribute to musical communities, influencing their aesthetics and expanding opportunities available to women. Hidden Harmonies: Women and Music in Popular Entertainment focuses not on those whose names are best known nor most celebrated but on the women who had power in collective or subversive ways hidden from standard histories. Contributors to Hidden Harmonies reexamine primary sources using feminist and queer methodologies as well as critical race theory in order to overcome previous, biased readings. The scholarship that results from such reexaminations explores topics from songwriters to the music of the civil rights movement and from whistling schools to musical influencers. These wide-ranging essays create a diverse and novel view of women's contribution to music and its production. With intelligence and care, Hidden Harmonies uncovers the fascinating figures behind decades of popular music.
