Description
Book Synopsis20th-century science and music, argues Jamie James, have rejected the Romantic separation of the two. The book provides a survey of the history of science and music, a reassessment of Romanticism and the modernist reaction to it, and a radical intellectual journey.
Trade ReviewAn unequivocal affirmation that music is no mere entertainment, but is vitally significant: an important adjunct in healing; an essential part of education. * SUNDAY TIMES *
A learned, sophisticated book, full of surprises. * FINANCIAL TIMES *
James probes deeply into an undervalued question and left me wondering at the extent to which our whole view of reality- and what may lie beyond it- is being revolutionised. * NEW SCIENTIST *
Exuberant and witty. * NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW *
