Summary:

"Build your own amplifier like experimenter Athanasius Kircher did, or turn the sound of your voice into unusal patterns of art like singer/composer Megan Watts Hughes. This title gives readers both an understanding of the properties of sound and the skills to investigate great discoveries and works. Exciting and easy-to-understand experiments encourage budding scientists, inventors, engineers, and artists to stand on the shoulders of the curious and creative people who came before them."-- Provided by publisher.
