Bad book but fun to read. The book is sadly filled with tons of pseudo-science new-age garbage. I am greatly offended that Don Campbell copyrighted the term “Mozart Effect” which he based upon real scientific research that was conducted by Gordon Shaw. Campbell’s bastardization of Shaw’s research and apparent lack of knowledge regarding classical music has further hampered much needed research into the impact that music has upon learning. The only reason I did not rate this book as “total crap” is because it does make the discerning reader ask more questions about what type of research is needed.
