The Sage Handbook of Popular Music is a comprehensive, smartly-conceived volume that can take its place as the new standard textbook in popular music.  The editors have shown great care in covering classic debates while moving the field into new, exciting areas of scholarship.  International in its focus and pleasantly wide-ranging across historical periods, the Handbook is accessible to students but full of material of interest to those teaching and researching in the field.
