Scientist and musician John Powell holds a PhD in physics from Imperial College (London University) and a Master's degree in music from the university of Sheffield (UK). He is the author of How Music Works.
"Any readers whose love of music has somehow not led them to
explore the technical side before will surely find the result a
thoroughly accessible, and occasionally revelatory, primer."--James
Walton, The Spectator
"By reading Powell's book we can gain a more solid knowledge of the
foundations of music and therefore be better able to appreciate
it."--Amanda Mark, New York Journal of Books
"In this distinctive combination of scientific treatise and
laugh-out-loud commentary, composer and physicist Powell...has
carved out an intriguing niche by using humor to enliven what could
have been an otherwise dry introduction to acoustics...readers ...
should glean some useful background for music study while
simultaneously being entertained."--Barry Zaslow, Library Journal
