"The chapters in this wonderful book are informative, intelligent, and occasionally startling. Emotion and consciousness are two of psychology's hottest topics, and this book explores their collision. As you might expect, the bang is a big one."
-Daniel Gilbert, PhD
"This book represents a blossoming-out of a number of important trends in thinking about emotions. Major issues related to unconscious and conscious processes in emotion-such as cognition-emotion interactions, affect induction, and embodiment in perception and thought-are examined in the context of closely reasoned and expertly executed research programs. Several chapters present promising developments of new research streams, substantially adding to insight and knowledge. Brimming with information, this is a well-written, challenging text for graduate-level students interested in current research areas and controversies in the field."
-Nico H. Frijda, PhD
"Although agreement remains scarce, emotions-both conscious and unconscious-are attracting unprecedented attention in human psychology. A banquet of theoretical perspectives is well shared in this stimulating volume, whose contributors seek to penetrate the scientific and philosophical mysteries of affective experience."
-Jaak Panksepp, PhD
"Remarkable....A rich tapestry that includes crucial summaries of state-of-the-science research and theorizing and the articulation and interrogation of key assumptions in the field. The editors did a fine job of bringing coherence to a quite heterogeneous collection of theories, concepts, methods, and research findings by insisting that each chapter explicitly consider the same set of questions and by providing a detailed roadmap to the contributions that in itself is a model of what the new science of emotion can achieve."
