This study approaches the Book of Job as a book, as a work of literary art. Drawing on deconstruction s pleasure in indeterminacy, the author asks how the text of Job plays, how it discloses its patterns of words in all their multiple possibilities. Reviews The translation is fresh, engaging, and free-flowing. It is amazing how an unfamiliar sentence structure can open a well-known phrase to a new reading...The commentary not only examines the dynamics of the narrative and significance of the speeches, but also contains Good s own argument with literary points made by some of the other prominent commentators on Job...The language Good uses to communicate his insights is inclusive and lively. All of this serves to make the book very readable, in fact, enjoyable. Theological Studies Good fills his dazzling kaleidoscope of explication with strong and intelligent historical, rhetorical, and linguistic references, citations, and allusions. Religion & Literature A brilliant, exhaustive study...Insights into the meaning of the Hebrew of the Book of Job are abundant, and observations about irony, sarcasm, and wordplays abound...One cannot help but be challenged and stimulated by these ...richly endowed, carefully researched, and well-written pages.

This lavishly illustrated book treats the history of the piano from its invention in 1700 to the present in terms of its technology. Looking at the technologies of design, materials, and manufacture, and focusing its description on specific existing pianos, it describes the changes in pianos from the earliest days to contemporary instruments. This revised edition incorporates the results of recent research that increases knowledge of the work of Bartolomeo Cristofori, the inventor of the piano; changes perceptions of how eighteenth-century pianos were made and used; adds to the available information about the important contributions of the Steinway Company; and describes the most recent changes to the piano. The first edition of this book received the Otto Kinkeldey Award of the American Musicological Society as the best musicological book in English published in 1982-83. Reviews of the First Edition "If you have ever looked under the lid of a piano and wondered about the technical how and why of it all, this is the book to sate your curiosity. . . . Good's vigorous prose breathes life into the technology . . . and brings forward the people involved, with humor and sensitivity." —Los Angeles Times "This is a fine book. Accurate technical description, an abundance of photographs and drawings, and a very readable text complement a provocative thesis." —Technology and Culture "Intriguing reading. It turns out that the story of the piano and its evolution . . . is rife with human interest, at least when Good relates the details." —Keyboard
