I had a great final day in London, and on the flight home I had lots of time to listen to books for my #AcademicRunPlaylist! (1/3)

First was “The Violin” by David Schoenbaum. This is your one-stop-shop for violin chronology, covering the diffusion and evolution of the instrument, the business of its construction and sale, the collector's market, education, and of course performance. I would not classify this as a history, as there's very little in the way of analysis, and almost no macro statistics or trends on the different topics the book covers Full review: https://bookwyrm.social/user/bwaber/review/11401427/s/an-epic-chronology#anchor-11401427 (2/3)
