Reviews
’This is a marvellously eclectic, thoroughly readable and innovative study that enriches both the geographies of health and music while embracing a range of themes from popular culture. It spans a fascinating range of global cases and distils a remarkable amount of interdisciplinary scholarship. The book elegantly traces the ever-changing relationships between place, music and culture - and the complex way in which these combine to make music very much more than merely background - but, literally, a vital force in so many lives.’ John Connell, University of Sydney, Australia 'No-one who grew up tapping, rocking, rapping or simply listening to the sounds of popular music will be able to resist this book. It is a page-turner. Musicologists are drawn into debates on wellbeing, health professionals confronted with the power of music, and geographers charged to pull it altogether. Innovative, challenging, entertaining; maybe therapeutic!' Susan J. Smith, Girton College, Cambridge University, UK 'This eclectic collection of essays explores ways in which wellbeing in everyday life intersects with popular music in an attempt to nudge geographies of health in new directions.' New Zealand Geographer
