“隆重”推荐 已经是一个“陈腐”的套话了，但徐老师仍旧借用它在徐老师所写的原典法系列丛书中，一个反复出现的主题，就是语言与音乐同根同源，外语学习的模式，要认真借鉴音乐学习的模式。但徐老师一直没有时间就这个“话题”充分展开讨论。在《论中国人学英语》一书中，虽然专辟一章“音乐与语言”，但限于篇幅，这一章内容其实非常有限。在徐老师计划明年出版的新著《中国人英语自学方法手册》中，也会有就这个方面的进一步介绍，但仍旧是“浅尝即止”。现在徐老师非常荣幸，能向青少年推荐这部风靡北美大学的当代科普经典著作，This is Your Brain on Muisc. 虽然这部书并没有主要涉及语言，但它对音乐心理加工深入浅出的讲解，对向青少年日后理解外语学习，肯定会有潜移默化的助益，更何况，音乐永远是人生的享受这部书的音频和文本，身居北美的徐海天老师已经整理好了，请PATRICK 抽空在网络上让网友共享。从以下WIKIPEDIA 的介绍，我们知道，这部科普名著，迅速被哈佛大学、耶鲁大学等全球顶尖高校用作大学生指定或强烈推荐教材http://cn.mc158.mail.yahoo.com/mc/welcome?.rand=1282005367&.remember=y&.persistent=n&error_done=#_pg=compose&&.rand=656939385&clean&.jsrand=4166252This Is Your Brain On Music is a popular science book written by the McGill University neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin, and first published by Dutton Books (a division of Penguin Publishing) in the U.S. and Canada in 2006, and updated and released in paperback by Plume/Penguin in 2007. It has been translated into 18 languages and spent more than a year on the New York Times, Globe & Mail, and other bestseller lists.The aim of This Is Your Brain On Music was to make recent findings in the neuroscience of music accessible to the educated layperson.[1] Characteristics and theoretical parameters of music are explained alongside scientific findings about how the brain interprets and processes these characteristics.[2] The neuroanatomy of musical expectation, emotion, listening and performance is discussed.This Is Your Brain On Music describes the components of music, such as timbre, rhythm, pitch, and harmony[3] and ties them to neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, cognitive psychology, and evolution,[4][5][6] while also making these topics accessible to nonexpert readers by avoiding the use of scientific jargon.[7] One particular focus of the book is on cognitive models of categorization and expectation, and how music exploits these cognitive processes.[8][9] The book challenges Steven Pinker's "auditory cheesecake" assertion that music was an incidental by-product of evolution, arguing instead that music served as an indicator of cognitive, emotional and physical health, and was evolutionarily advantageous as a force that led to social bonding and increased fitness, citing the arguments of Charles Darwin, Geoffrey Miller and others.[10]This Is Your Brain On Music was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Award in 2006-2007 for best in the Science and Engineering category, and a Quill Award for best debut author of 2006-2007. It was named one of the best books of the year by the Globe and Mail, The Independent and The Guardian.[11] A long list of prominent scientists and musicians have praised it, including Oliver Sacks, Francis Crick, Brian Greene, David Byrne, George Martin, Yoko Ono, Neil Peart, Victor Wooten, Pete Townshend and Keith Lockhart, and it has been adopted for course use in both science and literature classes at dozens of universities including MIT, Dartmouth College, UC Berkeley, Stanford, Kenyon College and the University of Wisconsin. Two documentary films were based on the book: "The Musical Brain" (2009) featuring Levitin as host, along with appearances by Sting, Michael Bublé, Feist, and former Fugees leader Wyclef Jean; and "The Music Instinct" (2009) with Levitin and Bobby McFerrin as co-hosts, with appearances by Yo Yo Ma, Jarvis Cocker, Daniel Barenboim, Oliver Sacks and others. In 2009, Harvard University announced This Is Your Brain on Music would be required reading in its Freshman Core Program in General Education.[12]Current Editions English - "This Is Your Brain On Music: The Science of a Human Obsession."
