This is Your Brain on Music: Understanding a Human Obsession

by Daniel Levitin

  

€ 13.75 

ISBN: 9780241987353

The New York Times bestselling book which examines how humans experience music and unravels the mystery of our perennial love affair with it

Using musical examples from Bach to the Beatles, Levitin reveals the role of music in human evolution, shows how our musical preferences begin to form even before we are born and explains why music can offer such an emotional experience.

Music is an obsession at the heart of human nature, even more fundamental to our species than language. In This Is Your Brain On Music Levitin offers nothing less than a new way to understand it, and its role in human life.
