From the Back Cover

"It is not possible to comprehend biological evolution without factoring in emotions and related phenomena. Adolphs and Anderson, who have built their respective reputations on the study of human and animal emotions, have written the best and most comprehensive text yet on the subject. This is an indispensable book."--Antonio Damasio, author of The Strange Order of Things: Life, Feeling, and the Making of Cultures

"Adolphs and Anderson have written a blueprint for a modern science of emotion in mice and men."--Rebecca Saxe, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

"Tight and transparent logic threads through this entire book, yielding not only a compelling story but also authoritative science. On the topic of emotion, the book is unsurpassed in its breadth of coverage, depth of expertise, exposition of methods and techniques, and unfailingly good scientific sense. An agenda-setting discussion."--Patricia Churchland, author of Braintrust: What Neuroscience Tells Us about Morality

"We know a great deal about the science of perception, actions, learning, and memory but know relatively little about the science of emotion. This is why The Neuroscience of Emotion is so welcome. Adolphs and Anderson present a completely new understanding of how emotions work and why they are so important for everyday life. Their book is the best treatment of the biology of emotion and a must-read for anyone interested in the brain and behavior."--Eric Kandel, Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist and author of The Disordered Mind: What Unusual Brains Tell Us About Ourselves

"Emotions have moved from obscurity to daylight, not only in psychology, but also in neuroscience. This accessible book offers the perfect introduction to the emotions of both humans and animals. It keeps feelings separate from bodily expressed emotions, and questions many common assumptions while offering a path to a truly scientific approach."--Frans de Waal, author of Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?

"This timely and thought-provoking book provides excellent analysis of neuroscience and psychology studies of emotions in humans and animals, and connects the two domains in an original and engaging way. The Neuroscience of Emotion brings sophisticated concepts and cutting-edge techniques to the discussion."--Kent Berridge, University of Michigan

"The Neuroscience of Emotion argues that studying how emotions are implemented in the brain can offer a deeper understanding of their functions. Written by two major leaders in the field, this fantastic and rigorous book will influence many students and researchers."--Luiz Pessoa, University of Maryland
