This broad but comprehensive book deals with history and new discoveries about music and the brain. It provides a multi-disciplinary overview on music processing, its effects on brain plasticity, and the healing power of music in neurological and psychiatric disorders. In this context, the disorders the plagued famous musicians and how they affected both performance and composition are critically discussed, and music as medicine, as well as music as a potential health hazard are examined. Among the other topics covered are: how music fit into early conceptions of localization of function in the brain, the cultural roots of music in evolution, and the important roles played by music in societies and educational systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e \u003cli\u003eDarwin and Spencer on the Origin of Music: Is Music the Food of Love?\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eKim Kleinman\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMusic Evolution and Neuroscience\u003c\/li\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles T.
