But why music excites such deep passions, and how we make sense of musical sound at all, are questions that have until recently remained unanswered. Now in \u003cem\u003eThe Music Instinct\u003c\/em\u003e, award-winning writer Philip Ball provides the first comprehensive, accessible survey of what is known--and still unknown--about how music works its magic, and why, as much as eating and sleeping, it seems indispensable to humanity. Deftly weaving together the latest findings in brain science with history, mathematics, and philosophy, \u003cem\u003eThe Music Instinct\u003c\/em\u003e not only deepens our appreciation of the music we love, but shows that we would not be ourselves without it. \u003cem\u003eThe Sunday Times\u003c\/em\u003e hailed it as \"a wonderful account of why music matters,\" with Ball's \"passion for music evident on every page.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Music Instinct: How Music Works and Why We Can't Do Without It | Philip Ball | Paperback | 9780199896424 | Used: Like New | Music \u0026 Performing Arts 1776800","offer_id":50760645738754,"sku":"1776800","price":26.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61mP3UwKH_L.jpg?v=1792045412","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/music-instinct-how-music-works-and-why-we-cant-do-without-it","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
