Music's ability to express and arouse emotions is a mystery that has fascinated both experts and laymen at least since ancient Greece. The predecessor to this book 'Music and Emotion' (OUP, 2001) was critically and commercially successful and stimulated much further work in this area. In the years since publication of that book, empirical research in this area has blossomed, and the successor to 'Music and Emotion' reflects the considerable activity in this area. The Handbook of Music and Emotion offers an 'up-to-date' account of this vibrant domain. It provides comprehensive coverage of the many approaches that may be said to define the field of music and emotion, in all its breadth and depth. The first section offers multi-disciplinary perspectives on musical emotions from philosophy, musicology, psychology, neurobiology, anthropology, and sociology. The second section features methodologically-oriented chapters on the measurement of emotions via different channels (e.g., self report, psychophysiology, neuroimaging). Sections three and four address how emotion enters into different aspects of musical behavior, both the making of music and its consumption. Section five covers developmental, personality, and social factors. Section six describes the most important applications involving the relationship between music and emotion. In a final commentary, the editors comment on the history of the field, summarize the current state of affairs, as well as propose future directions for the field. The only book of its kind, The Handbook of Music and Emotion will fascinate music psychologists, musicologists, music educators, philosophers, and others with an interest in music and emotion (e.g., in marketing, health, engineering, film, and the game industry). It will be a valuable resource for established researchers in the field, a developmental aid for early-career researchers and postgraduate research students, and a compendium to assist students at various levels. In addition, as with its predecessor, it will also attract interest from practising musicians and lay readers fascinated by music and emotion.

Now in its sixth decade, country music studies is a thriving field of inquiry involving scholars working in the fields of American history, folklore, sociology, anthropology, musicology, ethnomusicology, cultural studies, and geography, among many others. Covering issues of historiography and practice as well as the ways in which the genre interacts with media and social concerns such as class, gender, and sexuality, The Oxford Handbook of Country Music interrogates prevailing narratives, explores significant lacunae in the current literature, and provides guidance for future research. More than simply treating issues that have emerged within this subfield, The Oxford Handbook of Country Music works to connect to broader discourses within the various fields that inform country music studies in an effort to strengthen the area's interdisciplinarity. Drawing upon the expertise of leading and emerging scholars, this Handbook presents an introduction into the historiographical narratives and methodological issues that have emerged in country music studies' first half-century.

Excerpt from The Musiclover's Handbook: Containing (1) A Pronouncing Dictionary of Musical Terms and (2) Biographical Dictionary of Musicians All Italian, French, and German words are written out phonetically, on the following system: A as in far, represented by ah. The Continental e has the sound of a in fare; it is represented by eh. The Continental i has the sound of e in deer; it is represented by ee. The following vowel sounds have no equivalents in English: French e, when not accented, something like the vowel sound in love. German o (o modified, or Umlaut) has nearly the same sound. German ii is about half-way between the sound of o in love and e in deer. O and u have the same sound as in English, the u sound being represented by oo, as in cool. Italian ae has the sound of long i in English. German a is the equivalent of a in air. German eu is sounded like oi, as in toil. The following consonantal sounds have no English equivalents: German hard guttural ach and soft guttural ag. The French sound of j is represented by zh as nearly as possible. The French nasals an, en, in, on, can be represented but very unsatisfactorily in English only by adding a final g. Whenever ch is found it is to be sounded like ch lr chair. C always has this sound in Italian when followed by i or e. The Italian ch, on the contrary, always has the sound of k, or c hard, and is thus represented. The Italian zz has the sound of ts or ds, and is thus represented. With this explanation of the phonetic system adopted to represent the foreign sounds, it is believed that the reader will find no difficulty in acquiring their proper pronunciation.
