"Comprehensive, cogent, incisive, and authoritative, this volume is truly extraordinary. Its coverage and writing style make it a suitable text for graduate (and even advanced undergraduate) courses in human emotions. No other treatment of emotion touches so broadly and crisply on the major subfields of emotion, including basic, applied, medical, and mental health approaches." - Joseph J. Campos, Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley, USA and Cofounder, International Society for Research on Emotions "Emotion links all of psychology, making this handbook essential across the discipline. This 'who's who' and 'what's what' in emotion provides an indispensable foundation for students and scholars." - Susan T. Fiske, Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology, Princeton University, USA
