Recenzje

'A witty, concise, and far-reaching book about music in a global context.'Suddhaseel Sen, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay'A ringing riposte to the assumption that music has little to say about the critical issues of our time. Cook shows us just a few of the countless ways in which music is an indelible aspect of what it means to be human - most crucially, because music teaches us nothing less than how to live.'George E. Lewis FBA, Columbia University
