Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
In this brilliant and thought provoking book Robin Maconie seeks the answers to fundamental questions about the nature and role of music. He examines acoustics, composition, music history, and psychology, integrating music and scientific research in a new evaluation of the topic. He argues passionately for a reappraisal of music, not as mere entertainment, but as something basic to our experience of listening and communicating in sound, and as an art which has exerted a profound influence on society.
MoreLong description:
What is music for? How does it work? What can it teach us? Intuitively, we feel there must be answers to such questions, but they tend to be scattered throughout a wide range of different areas of study, from acoustics to music history, from psychology to composition. In this brilliant and thought-provoking book Robin Maconie seeks the answers to these and other fundamental questions about music, integrating music and appropriate scientific research in a new evaluation of his topic. In so doing he argues passionately for a reappraisal of music, not as mere entertainment, but as something basic to our experience of listening and communicating sound, and an art which has exerted a profound influence on society.
