About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2007. Octavo. Paper over boards. First edition, later impression. Fine, in about fine dust jacket.
"Music can move us to the heights or depths of emotion. It can persuade us to buy something, or remind us of our first date. It can lift us out of depression when nothing else can. It can get us dancing to its beat. But the power of music goes much, much further. Indeed, music occupies more areas of our brain than language does -- humans are a musical species" -- from the publisher.
