What is love? How soon is now? How do you solve a problem like Maria? Theyre some of the most famous questions ever asked. But do you know the answers? In this fun and witty book, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist James Ball examines the economic status of doggies in windows, what war is good for, and what becomes of the brokenhearted to find out the definitive and entertaining answers. In doing so, he uncovers what we have always known--pop music is the key to life itself. With lyrics from Bob Dylan, Queen, Rihanna, the Ting Tings, Billy Joel, and a variety of other genre- and decade-spanning artists, this little hardcovers colorful graphs and Venn diagrams reveal the exact points where lowbrow pop culture and the highest science and philosophy meet.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book owes its existence to Nicky Woolf, whose late-night drunken attempt to fact-check Ms. Jackson on Twitter sparked a correction from me. In turn, that prompted then editor at BuzzFeed Janine Gibson to make me turn it into an article, which prompted Boxtree editor Jamie Coleman to suggest this book.
Thanks are due to everyone at Pan Macmillan, and especially to James Edgar, whose brilliant illustrations are throughout the book. Thanks are also due to Luke, Caroline, Holly, Tom, David, and others who have input suggestions throughout. Thanks also to the team at Ten Speed Press: Lisa, Aaron, Chloe, Kristin, Daniel, and Dan. All errors remain entirely my fault.
Serious credit and apologies are due to every artist whose work Ive butchered in this workthank you all for posing so many great questions.
Finally, I would like to single out Mels friend Alice, who was absolutely no help at all.
A NOTE ON CITATIONS
Where weve made significant use of a particular study or article, weve included it wherever possible in the text. However, to avoid a notes section as long as the book itself, these have sometimes been omitted. If theres any figure youd like the source ofor if you think youve spotted an error in the mathdo get in touch, ideally via Twitter, where I can be found @jamesrbuk.
