About This Item
This is a stated First American Edition of SMITHSONIAN MUSIC: THE DEFINITIVE VISUAL HISTORY, published in 2013. Through text and a massive number of images, it shows how music has evolved with human society, accompanying our leisure, religious rituals, and popular festivities. It begins with pre-history and before musical notation, when melodies were memorized or improvised and goes through historical instruments, and moves through its global evolution up to electronica and heavy rock.
It is a big, heavy book. This copy is mylar-wrapped and the mylar is loosening, which is why the cover looks odd in the image. It's just taped to the inside covers--you can easily remove it.
But there is no evidence that anyone ever read it. It is in mint condition.
