Editorial Reviews
Review
I believe that several essays in this book will make readers feel very differently about emotions. It is recommended for anyone who would like to have their cultural beliefs vigorously shaken up. Media/Culture Reviews online Anthropologist Wulff has assembled the most comprehensive collection of theoretically rich and empirically diverse articles on emotions to date. Highly recommended. T. L.
