Daniel J. Levitin, 2008, 354 pages
Could संगीत unlock the mystery of who we are and how we think?
An unprecedented blend of science and art, Daniel Levitin’s bestselling debut, This Is Your Brain on Music, changed the way we understand how संगीत gets in our heads. Now, in what is being called a tour de force द्वारा leading scientists, he presents his audacious theory of ‘six songs,’ the key to how संगीत shaped humanity across cultures and throughout history.
Preserving the emotional heritage of our lives and of our species, संगीत from its very beginning, was allied to dance, as the structure of the brain confirms. Developing that neurological observation, Levitin shows how संगीत and dance enabled the bonding and friendship necessary for society, science, and art to evolve. Songs of Friendship, Joy, Comfort, Knowledge, Religion, and प्यार have been sung for tens of thousands of years as we made our world. This palette of song types constitutes a remarkable tool for understanding who we are. It can reveal what संगीत is accomplishing at work, at play, in the throes of a romantic break-up, या on the crest of a brilliant revelation.
Blending cutting-edge scientific findings with his own sometimes hilarious experiences as a musician and music-industry professional, Levitin’s sweeping study also incorporates wisdom gleaned from interviews with आइकनों ranging from Sting and Paul Simon to Joni Mitchell and David Byrne, along with classical musicians and conductors, historians, anthropologists, and evolutionary biologists. The result is an inspired tour of the prehistoric yet elegant systems at play when we sing and dance at a wedding या cheer at a संगीत कार्यक्रम – या tune out quietly with an iPod.
These six songs enlighten human nature in a way आप will never forget.

12 साल old Percy Jackson is just another normal kid...or so he thought. When he realizes he is the son of the Greek god Poseidon, the god of water, the battle really begins for his life, his friends, and the gods....
This is an AWESOME series. If आप are a read-aholic (like me).....no further questions, this is the series for you. It's funny, thrilling, and so AMAZINGLY AWESOME I want to scream.
If आप don't already know, they also just made the first book of this series (Percy Jackson & the Olypians: The Lightning Thief) into a movie. So check that out as well.

Tantalize (Cynthia Leitich Smith) was an awsome book. I really enjoyed it. It had me guessing what was going to happen until the very end!
Here is a piece about the book:
Quincie Morris has never felt और alone. Her hybrid werewolf first प्यार threatens to embark on a rite of passage that will separate them forever. And just as she and her uncle are about to unveil Austin's red-hot vampire-themed restaurant, a brutal murder leaves them scrambling for a chef. Can Quincie transform the new hire, Henry Johnson, into a culinary Dark Lord before opening night? Will he be able to to wow the crowd in fake fangs, a cheap cape, and red contact lenses? या is there और to his earnest fresh face than meets the eye?
As human and preternatural forces clash a deadly प्यार त्रिकोण, त्रिभुज forms and the line between predator and prey begins to blur. Who's playing whom? And how long can Quincie play along before she loses everything?
