Animal Musicalities

"This imaginative book brings together musicology, science and technology studies, and animal studies in exciting ways that will be of interest to scholars in a variety disciplines." —Jane Desmond, author of Displaying Death and Animating Life

"How deep are the connections between birdsong and human music?  And why should we care?  This fascinating and challenging book charts changing answers to these questions from the time of Darwin and Spencer to the present as it makes a compelling case for the study of culture in a more-than-human world."

—Gregory Radick, author of The Simian Tongue: The Long Debate about Animal Language
