Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From Bach fugues to Indonesian gamelan, from nursery rhymes to rock, music has cast its light into every corner of human culture. But why music excites such deep passions, and how we make sense of musical sound at all, are questions that have until recently remained unanswered. Now in The Music Instinct, awardwinning writer Philip Ball provides the first comprehensive, accessible survey of what is knownand still unknownabout how music works its magic, and why, as much as eating and sleeping, it seems indispensable to humanity. Deftly weaving together the latest findings in brain science with history, mathematics, and philosophy, The Music Instinct not only deepens our appreciation of the music we love, but shows that we would not be ourselves without it. The Sunday Times hailed it as 'a wonderful account of why music matters,' with Ball's 'passion for music evident on every page.'
