The Metamorphosis (Dover Thrift Editions) : Paperback : Franz Kafka, Stanley Appelbaum : 9780486290300 Living Well, Spending Less: 12 Secrets of the Good Life: Ruth Soukup: 0025986337674: Amazon.com: Books This is your brain on music — Dr. Daniel J. Levitin Think of a song that resonates deep down in your being. Now imagine sitting down with someone who was there when the song was recorded and can tell you how that series of sounds was committed to tape, and who can also explain why that particular combination of rhythms, timbres and pitches has lodged in your memory, making your pulse race and your heart swell every time you hear it. Remarkably, Levitin does all this and more, interrogating the basic nature of hearing and of music making (this is likely the only book whose jacket sports blurbs from both Oliver Sacks and Stevie Wonder), without losing an affectionate appreciation for the songs he's reducing to neural impulses. Levitin is the ideal guide to this material: he enjoyed a successful career as a rock musician and studio producer before turning to cognitive neuroscience, earning a Ph.D. and becoming a top researcher into how our brains interpret music.
