Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'This moving, incisive book is a great reminder of music's power as a universal connector.'-Kirkus ReviewsAn Alzheimer's patient who can't find the bathroom can still sing a hymn she learned in 1963. Infants two days old already prefer consonant intervals to dissonant ones, before culture has had a chance to teach them anything. Every culture we have ever found makes music, independently, without being taught.We call it entertainment.Composer and synesthete Ron K. Miller thinks that is the wrong category.Music is a stimulus, like heat, pain, and the aroma of food. It arrives as physical input before interpretation catches up. It changes heart rate, cortisol, oxytocin, and autonomic state. And it competes with pain for some of the same limited internal resources: attention, reward, memory, prediction. They are not identical and they do not share a single pathway. But they make claims on the same body, and sometimes the music wins.RESONANCE is Miller's first book, built in three movements.Recognition follows music through the body and the life it shapes: infant regulation, memory, compulsion, the songs that arrive uninvited and refuse to leave.Reverence turns outward, to awe, sacred architecture, harmonic order, silence, and the musical forms we inherit without ever agreeing to them.Resolution tests the argument against the evidence. Neuroscience, animal cognition, synesthesia, altered states, pain modulation, focused ultrasound, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's rehabilitation, and the stubborn fact that people keep turning to music when ordinary language runs out.Miller sees music. Literally, not poetically. Color, shape, and spatial dimension arrive with the sound whether he wants them to or not. He is careful about what that does and does not buy him. A fuller sensory picture is not a fuller understanding.His son has Down syndrome and is mostly nonverbal. Watching music reach him in places ordinary language could not reach is what pushed this book from private obsession into obligation.This is a work of inquiry rather than dogma. Where the evidence supports a mechanism, Miller names it. Where it does not, he says so.Music has been filed under entertainment for a very long time. It belongs on a better shelf.'An emotional and informative ode to the sonic connections we form throughout our lives.'-Kirkus Reviews'The result is a fascinating mix of scientific theory, musical analysis, and personal history that never feels dry or didactic.'-Kirkus Reviews.…
