Autor John Booth Davies
en Limba Engleză Hardback – noi 2024
What happens when we listen to music? Why are certain forms pleasing and others not? John Davies was both a psychologist and a talented musician and The Psychology of Music, originally published in 1978, explores the nature of man’s eternal need for, and love of, music. Drawing on current research in psychology and social psychology at the time, he explores the processes beneath this love affair in an easy and fluent style liberally punctuated with amusing and, occasionally, startling examples.

Notă biografică

John Booth Davies (1944–2017) Emeritus Professor was both a psychologist and a talented musician. He completed his PhD on the topic of musical ability but combined this with playing piano and trumpet in jazz clubs. He made significant and lasting contributions to each of the diverse fields that took his interest throughout his career. The Psychology of Music was his first book, largely dealing with the cognitive psychology of music, he went on to publish books challenging the dominant way in which addiction is understood. The Myth of Addiction and Drugspeak: The Analysis of Drug Discourse are also available from Routledge.
