Art & Music is the third volume in The Human Record. It moves the series from the world's past into the world we make: 126 discussion cards arranged in six groups, from First Images & First Songs through The Sacred Arts, Masters, Makers & Patrons, The Performing World, and Breaking the Frame, closing with The Modern Eye & Ear. Each card is built around a single work, maker, or idea and the knowledge behind it, something worth knowing and worth talking about. Made for guides, families, classrooms, and curious readers, it turns art and music into something to look at closely, listen for, and discuss.
