The various processes that connect the physics of the Sun with that
of the Earth`s environment has become known as "Space Weather"
during recent years, a slogan that has emerged in connection with
many other expressions adapted from meteorology, such as solar
wind, magnetic clouds or polar rain. This volume is intended as a
first graduate-level textbook-style account on the physics of these
solar-terrestrial relations and their impact on our natural and
technological environment.

A presentation of music and language within an integrative,
embodied perspective of brain mechanisms for action, emotion, and
social coordination. This book explores the relationships between
language, music, and the brain by pursuing four key themes and the
crosstalk among them: song and dance as a bridge between music and
language; multiple levels of structure from brain to behavior to
culture; the semantics of internal and external worlds and the role
of emotion; and the evolution and development of language. The book
offers specially commissioned expositions of current research
accessible both to experts across disciplines and to non-experts.
These chapters provide the background for reports by groups of
specialists that chart current controversies and future directions
of research on each theme. The book looks beyond mere auditory
experience, probing the embodiment that links speech to gesture and
music to dance. The study of the brains of monkeys and songbirds
illuminates hypotheses on the evolution of brain mechanisms that
support music and language, while the study of infants calibrates
the developmental timetable of their capacities. The result is a
unique book that will interest any reader seeking to learn more
about language or music and will appeal especially to readers
intrigued by the relationships of language and music with each
other and with the brain. Contributors Francisco Aboitiz, Michael

Few areas have witnessed the type of growth we have seen in the
affective sciences in the past decades. Across psychology,
philosophy, economics, and neuroscience, there has been an
explosion of interest in the topic of emotion and affect.
Comprehensive, authoritative, up-to-date, and easy-to-use, the new
Oxford Companion to Emotion and the Affective Sciences is an
indispensable resource for all who wish to find out about theories,
concepts, methods, and research findings in this rapidly growing
interdisciplinary field - one that brings together, amongst others,
psychologists, neuroscientists, social scientists, philosophers,
and historians. Organized by alphabetical entries, and presenting
brief definitions, concise overviews, and encyclopaedic articles
(all with extensive references to relevant publications), this
Companion lends itself to casual browsing by non-specialists
interested in the fascinating phenomena of emotions, moods, affect
disorders, and personality as well as to focused search for
pertinent information by students and established scholars in the
field. Not only does the book provide entries on affective
phenomena, but also on their neural underpinnings, their cognitive
antecedents and the associated responses in physiological systems,
facial, vocal, and bodily expressions, and action tendencies.
Numerous entries also consider the role of emotion in society and
social behavior, as well as in cognitive processes such as those
critical for perception, attention, memory, judgement and
decision-making. The volume has been edited by a group of
internationally leading authorities in the respective disciplines
consisting of two editors (David Sander and Klaus Scherer) as well
as group of 11 associate editors (John T. Cacioppo, Tim Dalgleish,
Robert Dantzer, Richard J. Davidson, Ronald B. de Sousa, Phoebe C.
Ellsworth, Nico Frijda, George Loewenstein, Paula M. Niedenthal,
Peter Salovey, and Richard A. Shweder). The members of the
editorial board have commissioned and reviewed contributions from
major experts on specific topics. In addition to comprehensive
coverage of technical terms and fundamental issues, the volume also
highlights current debates that inform the ongoing research
process. In addition, the Companion contains a wealth of material
on the role of emotion in applied domains such as economic
behaviour, music and arts, work and organizational behaviour,
family interactions and group dynamics, religion, law and justice,
and societal change. Highly accessible and wide-ranging, this book
is a vital resource for scientists, students, and professionals
eager to obtain a rapid, conclusive overview on central terms and
topics and anyone wanting to learn more about the mechanisms
underlying the emotions dominating many aspects of our lives.
