Description
This Very Short Introduction explores the latest thinking about emotions, drawing on scientific research from anthropology, psychology, neuroscience and artificial intelligence.

The book has been thoroughly revised to incorporate new developments in our understanding of emotions, including new sections addressing the neural basis of empathy and the emotional impact of films.
