CHOICE Review

The third edition of this resource earns a place beside the first and second, edited by Lewis and Haviland-Jones (CH, May'94, 31-5152; 2000), as an indispensable source for state-of-the-art overviews of current methods, theories, and empirical findings in the science of emotion. Handbooks play a pivotal role in scientific canon formation, so the editors of such works face considerable pressure to make sure that what they include is as representative of their fields as possible. When updating a classic handbook, editors must also track the most important changes in the field, those likely to generate new knowledge. Lewis (Univ. of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey), Haviland-Jones (Rutgers), and Barrett (Boston College, Harvard, Massachusetts General Hospital) do a marvelous job of both. Readers familiar with previous editions will note the significant reconfiguration of some sections, deletion of several chapters, substantial revision of many chapters, and addition of almost 30 chapters (e.g., on emotions and economic behavior, emerging neuro-imaging techniques, emotion regulation, and positive emotions). As was true of the first and second editions, the contributors constitute a Who's Who of emotion scientists with a judicious mix of established and rising researchers. This is the book on emotions. No library should be without it. Summing Up: Essential. All readers, all levels. R. R. Cornelius Vassar College
