Booklist: Feb 1, 2000 –
Entries covering health and illness, folk theories of emotion, and gender and emotions offer perspectives that are not found in other works…a good companion for the traditional encyclopedias of psychology and social sciences… This is a very good source for academic and large public libraries.
Library Journal: March 1, 2000 –
This unique encyclopedia on human emotions tries to be all things to all readers and succeeds brilliantly. Written for general readers, high school and college students, and scholars seeking state-of-the-art overviews, it is readable, accessible, and authoritative…Levinson…and his colleagues have put together a truly outstanding work that should be in all collections and consulted first by anyone interested in learning about human emotions.
Against the Grain: December/January 2000 –
Offering more than just a psychological approach, Encyclopedia of Human Emotions also blends the perspectives of sociology, biology, anthropology, medicine and the arts into an interdisciplinary treatment…scholarly, but accessible to the general reader. The uniqueness of this set is its interdisciplinary approach.
