Musical Milestones

Musical Milestones: My Tale of Science & Music is a sheer pleasure, inviting the reader into the world of a university professor who can discuss time signatures along with enzymes and vitamin deficiencies. For those seeking a role model for how to keep their artistic side in play as they strive to succeed in the business or academic worlds, this book is a lively and practical guide. For those who want to learn more about music and its interplay in the mind of a brilliant scholar and scientist, this book will feed the imagination in the manner of Lewis Thomas or Oliver Sacks. And for other readers — neither scientist nor musician — this is an inspiring memoir of a small-town boy who kept his soul filled with music even as he rose in the ranks of his chosen profession.
