The Science of Song

Product Description

Though most of us know we love listening to music, we may not spend much time thinking about how this came to be, or the science, technology, engineering and mathematics that are crucial to its existence.

This illustrated book explores all of this, starting with the basics – how does sound work? and what, exactly, is music? – and then describes how music and the ways we experience it have transformed over the years. It details the progression of recorded music, from the phonograph to streaming.

It covers how everyday items like headphones were created, and includes a look at the science of how we experience music (like why we can’t get certain songs out of our heads).

And, to amp up the interest, playlists accompany each topic, featuring a range of artists and multiple genres and styles!

Includes a timeline, glossary, resources and index.
