Recenzii

Afantasticride
Masterful... Eminently enjoyable
Exquisitely well-writtenand easy to read, serving up a great deal of scientific information in a gentle way for those of us who are - or just think we are - a bit science-phobic
Fascinating. Provides a biological explanation for why we might tap our feet or bob our heads in time with a favorite song, how singing might soothe a baby, and how music emboldens soldiers or athletes preparing for conflict
Why can a song make you cry in a matter of seconds?Six Songsisthe only book that explains why
Fantastic
