Prekės aprašymas: Music in the Social and Behavioral Sciences: An Encyclopedia
This two-volume encyclopedia argues for a more inclusive and comprehensive understanding of music and its role in human life, rather than the highly specialized areas that scholars usually focus on. It highlights scholarship from the behavioral and social sciences and provides articles in the areas of aesthetics and emotion; business and technology; communities and society; culture and environment; the elements of musical analysis; evolutionary psychology; media and communication; musicianship and expertise; neuroscience; perception, memory, and cognition; politics, economics, and law; and therapy, health, and well-being.
