1.		Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain, Revised and Expanded Edition from Vintage Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Considering the part music plays in the recovery of extremely mentality disabled patients, which is not a new phenomenon, it has recently been explored once again by Oliver Sacks, physician and author, in his new book Musicophilia Tales of Music and the Brain. There are remarkable examples of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Music, The Brain, And Ecstasy: How Music Captures Our Imagination from Harper Perennial Price: $10.17 Customer Review: This is a good book! An informative page-turner. I recommend it to anyone who needs to research this topic. I am a composer, performer, theorist, multi-approach science and religion enthusiast. Several times I was positively shaken by some of the music/brain knowledge revealed. And despite the high... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		The World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature from Dutton Adult Price: $15.57 Customer Review: I thoroughly enjoyed "This is Your Brain on Music" and anticipated a similar combination of witty, widely observed (pop, jazz, classical), and helpfully presented (science-for-non-specialists) material. All those qualities are present but distractingly encumbered by puffery (yes, yes, you lunch with... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Music and the Mind from Ballantine Books Price: $10.17 Customer Review: I used this book to help me write my senior thesis (rooted in music education). Very helpful reference book and has excellent research about music therapy and autism.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century from Picador Price: $12.24 Customer Review: If you have to write a paper on this so-called music, this book might be useful, but other than that the author tries to find meaning when there is nothing there to find. The "music" he writes about is painful to the ears, the book is painful to the eyes.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		The Singing Neanderthals: The Origins of Music, Language, Mind, and Body from Harvard University Press Price: $11.53 Customer Review: I have long suspected that music must be connected to language and that the evolution of language was somehow linked to our musical ability. Steven Mithen's exploration of this subject leaves me reflective, impressed and with a great deal to think about. His scientific curiosity -- as we have seen... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Sweet Anticipation: Music and the Psychology of Expectation (Bradford Books) from The MIT Press Price: $18.00 Customer Review: Sweet Anticipation should be required reading for all composers and musicologists. The book plausibly explains how and why music affects human emotions, and it also contains numerous practical factoids that can be used to gauge one's own works against the spectrum of human musical perception. Huron... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		The Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window into Human Nature from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $10.88 Customer Review: Steven Pinker is one of the greatest minds we have. The Blank Slate is on my top 20 lifetime list for books and I've enjoyed seeing him in interviews (and one outstanding debate) online. The Stuff of Thought unfortunately is fairly pedestrian by his standards. To me, this book was far more about... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science (James H. Silberman Books) from Viking Adult Price: $8.99 Customer Review: This has to be one of the most fascinated works I've come across in a while. The main premise of the book is the extraordinary plasticity of the human brain. The author makes a compelling argument, supported by endless and very valuable examples, studies and facts to support this theory.more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Emotion and Meaning in Music (Phoenix Books) from University Of Chicago Press Price: $15.30 Customer Review: I have yet to finish up with the book but it's a very clear thorough book. Meyer explains details that you thought couldn't be explained. I have intuited a lot of the material but it is so darn gratifying to see it written, to see I haven't made it up out of thin air! Really a must read!!! more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
