The Best of Ternodynamics
Is a book wich explain detaily, all the laws on termodynamics, has a very good examples and excercises. Another issue, it works on International systems Units, and is very good because the world is changing for using that units on all the industries, it has conversion factor for English and metrics units. I recommend it as the best book for the begining on Termodynamic studies.

Informative, if a bit dry
The cornerstone of Gordon's theory is audiation - hearing and understanding music when it is not played. Preparatory audiation is the one applied to children in the music babble stage (analogous to language babble), usually 0 to 5 years old. Gordon's theory proposes three types of preparatory audiation: roughly, listening and responding out of sync, imitating with some precision and coordinating singing or chanting with movement and breathing. Each type is further subdivided into stages. Most of the book is devoted to the description of each of the stages.

The theory itself is intriguing since it is the only one (at least to my knowledge) attempting to deal systematically with musical education of very young children. Intuitively, the theory makes sense: expose the children to a variety of repeating tonal and rhythm patterns and they will develop a better music vocabulary. Then they will babble through it, just like they do with language. And then they move to adjusting their singing/chanting to match breathing and movement.

The book is not an easy read. Specific musical terminology could be better understood by a layman with the help of the dictionary at the end. But the narrative reveals someone who is, perhaps, more at ease with music than with written word. Overall, the book is fairly dry. In addition, no attempt is made to seriously compare MLT with some existing well-known music learning methods, such as Suzuki.

Some good advice is given on choosing an instrument for a child. Apart from the child's physical characteristics, Gordon suggests to pay special attention to his preference for the tone quality of an instrument.

Overall, I would recommend this book for parents or teachers of music, especially the ones with some music education, but do not expect a breezy read!
