This is your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession

by Daniel J. Levitin (2007)

Where else are you going to find a book recommended by world-renowned neurologists like Dr. Oliver Sacks, and world-class musicians such as Sting and David Byrne? This book by musician/sound engineer/music producer-turned-scientist Daniel J. Levitin will have you humming, tapping, and maybe even singing out loud as you learn about the ways composers exploit our hard-wired biological musical tendencies. Great fun!
