MUSIC AND THE BRAIN

Are Brean / Geir Olve Skeie

About the magic power of music and its amazing effect on the brainCreativity in music and the skills to play and appreciate music are uniquely human characteristics. All mammals seem to enjoy a tune but only human beings show true musicality and ability to communicate through music. The brain composes music to please itself: one can learn much about how the brain works by studying its responses to music and music-making.This book is written as three parts: The first part discusses what brain does with music, that is: how music is sensed and perceived, processes grouped together as the basis for "perception of music".The second part describes what music does to the brain: how it affects its functioning and enables it to change – effects known as manifestations of neuroplasticity. The authors then go on to analyse the characteristics of "the musician's brain" – the brains of musicians have shared features that set them apart from other people's brains.In the third part, the authors give an account of the ways in which the brain-changing effects of music can be used to aid recovery after blows to the head and to treat neurological and related disorders such as dementia, Parkinson's disease and mental illnesses. Music for the brain, not for the earsThe easy read, exciting and intriguing popular science book Music and the Brain is warmly recommended fro anyone who would like to learn more about the grey lump of water and fat that we carry between our ears.BALLADE Musically about the brainThis is a fascinating rendition of the power that music has over man. Music and the Brain is an engaging presentation of extremely advanced processes in the brain. The book is full of interesting facts and reflections around how we relate to music. It contains exciting and brand new research on the topic, well balanced and knowledgeable.AFTENPOSTEN

When I Drink

Martin Svedman

11-year-old Henrik stretches out on the bathroom floor after drinking vodka. He laughs, he cries, he discovers that he has a talent for ecstasy. When he as a young man starts his MBA his parents have been trying to deal with his alcoholism for years. He has been to rehab and in therapy. Henrik can stop drinking for a while. The problem is that he always starts drinking again. As a student he meets Sofie. Henrik likes that Sofie has a sense for numbers and complex calculations, and that she knows the piano concertos by Mozart. And he loves that she can drink just as much as he can. But when Henrik and Sofie move in together, Sofie changes personality. She stops drinking.When I drink is a poetry collection that portrays an alcoholic through sad, euphoric, painful, hopeful, absurd, and pathetic episodes. Henrik becomes just as sick when he does not drink as when he drinks. In a precise, specific and at times playfully poetic language the author shows us the otherness and pain of the alcoholic, and the way that they react both mentally and physically in a different way to a substance that most of us have a relationship to - alcohol.Inspired by the prose of Charles Baudelaire and talkative, narrative poets like Frank O´Hara, the author started writing poetry after being submitted to detox. He has not had a drink for 8 years.This book is solid. A long time will pass between each time a poetry collection of this calibre is published in Norway.DAGBLADETWhen I drink is in every way an unusual collection of poems. Not just unusually good. First and foremost, the collection is a rarity because it wants to do more than to mirror its originator.ADRESSEAVISENThe first print run was sold out in less than 2 weeks when the book was launched in Norway in January of 2019.

On the Edge of Vigeland

Roy Jacobsen

Roy Jacobsen's celebrated essay on his many childhood visits to the Vigeland Park, the world's largest sculpture park by a single artist, and his mother's mysterious dentist appointments, is now a book of its own, accompanied by photographs. This personal essay is a must-read for all Jacobsen fans. 'Not only does the text impart knowledge about Vigeland's artwork, but it also approaches something I understand to be the driving powers in Roy Jacobsen's authorship, rife with countless strong, complex female figures as it is. Making the invisible struggle visible isn't just a goal for his newest series fra Barrøy on the Helgeland coast (…) The essay is appalling, upsetting – and encouraging.'KLASSEKAMPEN'I wouldn't have believed that one of the year's best reading experiences would show up in an anthology about Oslo's art collection.'AFTENPOSTEN
