PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Think of a song that resonates deep down in your being. Now imagine sitting down with someone who was there when the song was recorded and can tell you how that series of sounds was committed to tape, and who can also explain why that particular combination of rhythms, timbres and pitches has lodged in your memory, making your pulse race and your heart swell every time you hear it. Remarkably, Levitin does all this and more, interrogating the basic nature of hearing and of music making (this is likely the only book whose jacket sports blurbs from both Oliver Sacks and Stevie Wonder), without losing an affectionate appreciation for the songs he's reducing to neural impulses. Levitin is the ideal guide to this material: he enjoyed a successful career as a rock musician and studio producer before turning to cognitive neuroscience, earning a Ph.D. and becoming a top researcher into how our brains interpret music. Though the book starts off a little dryly (the first chapter is a crash course in music theory), Levitin's snappy prose and relaxed style quickly win one over and will leave readers thinking about the contents of their iPods in an entirely new way.

Great content, poor formatting = poor rating.
The ratings for the paperback version of this book speak for themselves: this is a great resource for learning bass. But do the publishers even look at the final product after they convert these to e-books? In full-screen view on my 24” iMac I can either get 1) one half page with tons of empty white space or 2) two full pages that are hard to read with tons of empty white space. There is nothing in between via the zoom in/zoom out tool. How about expanding those view options to take full advantage of the screen’s real estate? There’s no reason I shouldn’t be able to see a single full page or even two full pages at the exact same size of the printed version (which I also own) on my iMac display. I know this because I can hold my printed version up to my screen and everything (2 pages worth) fits within my display area.
It’s great to have the clickable audio embedded directly in the pages, but it’s not great to see only two bars of music (or just a page header) on a single page.
So disappointing. I’m a big believer in e-books but the publishers really need to get their act together when it comes to efficient formatting. Wish I had just stuck with the paper version and not wasted my money on the electronic replica. :(
