The World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature

The World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature by Daniel Levitin
English | July 4th, 2019 | ISBN: 0241987814 | 368 pages | EPUB | 1.21 MB

And how, far from being a bit of a song and dance, music is at the core of what it means to be human.
