ALA Booklist (Tue Nov 01 00:00:00 CDT 2022)

Through 50 concise, highly visual chapters, the volumes in the 50 Things You Should Know About series offer a distinct narrative on a variety of topics, each organized thematically. Music first outlines the technicalities of music before launching into a history of musical styles, medieval to modern, and genres across time and cultures. The layout, photo-illustrated and containing diagrams and eye-catching text boxes, is bright and dynamic, and each volume is complete with an ending glossary. Fact-packed and visual, these overviews provide plenty of intriguing factoids for would-be researchers to pursue.
