About the book

Sound Tracks by Graeme Lawson is a history book for adult readers.

A History of the World in 100 Objects meets Sapiens: the first archaeological history of humanity's musical heritage Wonderfully engaging, expansive and ambitious, Sound Tracks tells the history of our relationship with music in sixty detective stories, each focusing on the discovery of a musical instrument - or its fragments - in archaeological digs around the world.

Taking us from the present day - finding a 100-year-old wax cylinder recording on a flea market - all the way back to the dawn of time - the thrilling discovery of a prehistoric flute - long-lost music is itself reconstructed as we enter the worlds of those who created it.
