Entry on "MUSIC, Celtic Otherworld", by Dr. Karen Ralls:

The Encyclopedia of Religion and Nature is envisioned as a definitive work that will recapitulate and define the parameters of the current academic discussions in the broad areas of "nature religion" and "religion and ecology". Relationships are complex among natural environments, culture, and religion---something this encyclopedia will explore. As environmental degradation intensifies, as predicted by a majority of scientists, we can expect many more transformations of human cultures and religions. The Encyclopedia will analyse these relationships from a variety of perspectives, and will be global in scope and contemporary in focus. Continuum International, an academic publisher of many Religious Studies books, with headquarters in London and New York, will publish the volume.
