Reviews & endorsements
"Can be recommended to a diverse group of readers, ranging from emotion researchers who want a complete reference library to professors seeking a course readers that presents brief and readable excerpts from notable scientists in a variety of disciplines to the well-informed dilettante who wants to know something about the current state of research in the field of emotion. The quality of the book is reflected in both the title and characteristics of the three editors....A reflection of the state of the art of emotion research....An excellent read."
-Contemporary PsychologySee more reviews"...the range of issues addressed and perspectives taken are impressive...This must truly have been a wonderfully stimulating conference to attend. I can only hope that the enthusiasm captured in this volume continues in the new century and that this tradition of conferences on feelings and emotions continues as well."
