But if you want to get to the root of what it is to be human, take time to
read up on Human Emotions. Edited by Jennifer Jenkins, Keith Oatley and Nancy
Stein, this reader demands attention. A collection of original papers by Charles
Darwin, Joseph LeDoux, Anthony Damasio and many more, it’s a guide to theory and
research on emotion. “Primary source material for students”, says the publisher,
but others may well find it useful. Published by Blackwell, £16.99, ISBN
0631207481 (hardback available).
