Encyclopedia of Emotion (2 Volumes Set)

"The Encyclopedia of Emotion possesses all of the expected, standard apparatus of a subject encyclopedia—a list of the 367 entries, a list of entries by type, a list of illustrations, an introduction, entries arranged A–Z, end-of-article see also references and brief bibliographies, and an index. Occasional fact boxes amplify some entries with statistical data, historical information, or “interesting trivia.” It differs from the norm for subject encyclopedias in one significant way—just one author (with the assistance of two others), rather than a variety of contributors affiliated with numerous institutions, wrote all of the articles. This lends clarity and a consistent tone whether the topic is a person, emotion, organization, disorder, diagnostic technique, or treatment. Topics from the latter part of the nineteenth century to the present predominate, but the scope includes articles on Plato and Aristotle, those complementary wellsprings of much of Western thought. This encyclopedia ranges more widely than The Encyclopedia of Human Emotions (Macmillan, 1999). Because the older work offers greater depth, and the newer greater breadth, they complement each other. Encyclopedia of Emotion will satisfy many—perhaps most—queries of students and curious lay readers; when readers need more, The Encyclopedia of Human Emotions offers more. Also available as an e-book. --James Rettig
