Kristy's March Staff Pick


How Music Works:
The Science and Psychology of Beautiful Sounds, From Beethoven to the Beatles
and Beyond
Written by John Powell
ML 3805 .P69 2010

“Dr. Powell decided to write this engaging and accessible introduction to the science and psychology behind music when he discovered that all the existing books on the subject gave him a headache. He holds a master’s degree in music composition and a PhD in physics…”

“You will be glad to hear that you need no musical or scientific training to understand this book, although musicians and scientists should find plenty of things they didn’t know before.”
