edited by Trevor Herbert, Jonathan Cross
This book, which covers a wide range of topics relating to brass instruments, was surprisingly interesting. The sections on brass instruments in the medieval and renaissance eras were particularly compelling, since I find period instruments fascinating. I also really liked the way a thread about how brass instruments transitioned from instruments for ceremonial and functional purposes to instruments for art and popular music ran through the entire book, even with a different author and focus for each chapter.
