DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Daniel Levitin in August as he discusses his new
 \nbook on music and human civilization.\nThrough his background in neurolo
 gy\, Levitin shows how music\n(and dance) enabled humans to bond\, creatin
 g the friendship between\npeople that was necessary for society\, science 
 and art to co-evolve\nover thousands of years.\nIn 'The World in Six Songs
 \,' Levitin picks up where his 'New\nYork Times' bestseller 'This Is Your 
 Brain On Music' left off\;\nblending cutting-edge scientific findings with
  his own sometimes\nhilarious experiences as a musician and music industry
 \nprofessional\, to take readers on a journey across human\ncivilization t
 hrough six different types of songs. They are songs\nof friendship\, joy\,
  comfort\, knowledge\, religion and love. Arguing\nthat music is a core el
 ement of our identity as humans\, Levitin\ndiscusses over 380 songs and gi
 ves the theory behind each type.\nDaniel Levitin runs the Laboratory for M
 usical Perception\,\nCognition and Expertise at 91ºÚÁÏÍø. Before becoming a 
 research\nscientist\, he was a record producer and professional musician. 
 As a\nproducer\, he has a number of gold records to his credit\, and has\n
 worked with artists such as Stevie Wonder\, Midnight Oil\, and k.d.\nlang.
  He has played professionally with Mel Tormé\, Blue Öyster\nCult\, and Dav
 id Byrne. His work has been published extensively in\nscientific journals 
 such as 'Science and Neuron' and audio trade\njournals such as 'Grammy\, B
 illboard and Audio'.\n
