Most previous books about Dmitri Shostakovich have focused on either his symphonies and operas, or his relationship to the regime under which he lived, or both, since these large-scale works were the ones that attracted the interest and sometimes the condemnation of the Soviet authorities. "Music for Silenced Voices" looks at Shostakovich through the back door, as it were, of h...(展开全部)

The most engaging and musical Sight-Singing text on the market. Music for Sight Singing is structured around organized melodiesdrawn from the literature of composed music and a wide range of the world's folk music. Real music exercises allow readers to practice sight singing and develop their "mind's ear" - the ability to imagine how music sounds without first playing it on an ...(展开全部)

斯蒂德夫妇 菲利普·C.斯蒂德与埃琳·E.斯蒂德被美国《ABC新闻》称为“儿童文学界最著名的创作组合之一”。2011年，斯蒂德夫妇首次合作的《阿莫的生病日》荣获图画书领域最高荣誉——凯迪克金奖。此后，夫妇二人又一起合作了多部作品，包括《大熊有个故事要说》《伦尼和露西》，以及与美国著名作家马克·吐温跨时空合作的《麦淇淋王子失窃案》。《为月亮先生演奏》是他们最新合作的故事，在创作期间，夫妇俩迎来了他们的爱情结晶，这位家庭新成员帮助他们一起完成了这部梦幻之作。

What really makes a video game story interactive? What's the best way to create an interactive story? How much control should players be given? Do they really want that control in the first place? Do they even know what they want-or are their stated desires at odds with the unconscious preferences? All of these questions and more are examined in this definitive book on inter...(展开全部)

The number of applications of deep learning and neural networks has multiplied in the last couple of years. Neural nets has enabled significant breakthroughs in everything from computer vision, voice generation, voice recognition and self-driving cars. Game development is also a key area where these techniques are being applied. This book will give an in depth view of the potential of deep learning and neural networks in game development. We will take a look at the foundations of multi-layer perceptron’s to using convolutional and recurrent networks. In applications from GANs that create music or textures to self-driving cars and chatbots. Then we introduce deep reinforcement learning through the multi-armed bandit problem and other OpenAI Gym environments.As we progress through the book we will gain insights about DRL techniques such as Motivated Reinforcement Learning with Curiosity and Curriculum Learning. We also take a closer look at deep reinforcement learning and in particular the Unity ML-Agents toolkit. By the end of the book, we will look at how to apply DRL and the ML-Agents toolkit to enhance, test and automate your games or simulations. Finally, we will cover your possible next steps and possible areas for future learning.
