Sinopsis

Journey around the globe to explore a musical cave, peek inside a piano, and find out how to play an instrument without touching it.
From ancient instruments made from shells to instruments that make music with lightning, discover an orchestra of instruments you can shake, pluck, scrape, hit, and blow-and how you can make your own. Grouped into percussion instruments, wind, and string, as well as the weird and wonderful that defy categorization, Around the World in 80 Musical Instruments covers traditional instruments from various cultures, such as the gamelan and mbira, as well as the creations of modern artists and musicians, such as the Wintergatan Marble Machine and the eerie-sounding yaybahar. Readers will even discover a band that plays exclusively on instruments fashioned from fresh vegetables and makes the scraps into soup to serve to the audience!
Includes a stunning central gatefold that opens out to reveal all 80 trees and how they relate to each other in families.
A visual celebration of the huge variety of musical instruments found across the globe, from those you know to those you almost certainly don't!

Acerca de los autores

Nancy Dickmann grew up in the USA, where she played baseball, ate hot dogs and read encyclopaedias for fun. She has now lived in England long enough to think that cold and rain are normal, but still has yet to try Morris dancing. Before becoming an author, she worked as an editor and publisher of children's books. Now, with Pushkin the Three-Legged Wonder Cat as her trusty assistant (in charge of lap-sitting), she writes books on a wide range of topics, including animals, space, history, health and explorers. The highlight of her career so far has been getting to interview a real astronaut to find out how they use the toilet in space!

Sue lives and works in a little eco house in Newcastle upon Tyne with her husband and two children. She loves to draw, design and make things. Since leaving Edinburgh College of art in the late 1990s, she's worked in-house, on a freelance basis, as an illustrator, product/licensed character developer, a designer/maker of jewellery, greetings cards and wrapping paper - never a dull moment! Sue's inspirations are many - from knitted toys, Japanese design, and Scandinavian Chic to Modernism, Dick Bruna and Info-graphics. She's drawn to anything that is quirky, humorous and minimal in design, and hopes that this is reflected in her illustration.
