Dear colleagues, It was suggested to me that I need to let people know about the publication of the 2nd edition of my textbook on the psychology of music, released about a month ago. My apologies for any cross-posting. Thompson, W.F. (2014). Music, Thought, and Feeling: Understanding the Psychology of Music (2nd Edition). New York: Oxford University Press. 400 pages. ISBN: 9780199947317 - theories of the evolution of music - psychoacoustic, perceptual, and cognitive foundations of music - music and the brain (includes research using EEG, MEG, fMRI, PET, TMS, tDCS etc.) - music and emotion - music and wellbeing - music and violence - music therapy - developmental approaches to music cognition - music performance - composition and creativity - effects of music training on other intellectual capacities and other topics. It was designed as an undergraduate textbook, but would be valuable for anyone who wants a review issues in the various subdisciplines of music cognition. It includes sound examples, sidebars, and other features available from a companion website. Additional information can be found at the Oxford University Press websites, or Amazon, Booktopia and other e-commerce sites: If you are teaching a psychology of music course and would like an evaluation copy of the book, simply use the "Request examination copy" link from the first or second Oxford University Press website above.
