"Music is "a fundamental pillar of our health, happiness and humanity", concludes neuroscientist, music psychologist and violin player Stefan Koelsch in his enchanting book on music's interaction with the brain."
"No wonder violinist Albert Einstein said, "Mozart's music is so pure and beautiful that I see it as a reflection of the inner beauty of the Universe.""
"Some fossil fuels contain the remains of reefs, so "one of the main ways we are currently harming coral reefs is by burning their ancestors", points out geoscientist and reef explorer Lisa Gardiner, whose penetrating study is dedicated to ensuring reefs' survival."
Public health outcomes are shaped by national policies and socioeconomic conditions that influence exercise, diet, gun exposure, mental health and air pollution. Physical activity in low-income contexts often arose from labor and poverty and declined as incomes rose, while some physical pursuits in wealthy countries have become markers of high socioeconomic status. Music engages brain processes that support health, happiness and human connection and can enable recovery of movement and speech in severe neurological cases. Coral reefs formed and fossilized over millennia and now face threats from overfishing, pollution and ocean warming; burning fossil fuels derived from ancient reefs further harms living reefs.
