Notes on a cultural theme
By DAVID JURITZ
[See Nature 416, 19 (2002)]
William Benzon, a cognitive scientist and musician, draws on research from a
wide range of disciplines. Although his preface describes the book as "an
exercise in speculative engineering", with the caveat that many of his
speculations "must surely be wrong", he succeeds in building a convincing,
though not compelling, case.
