ANNOUNCING A NEW BOOK SERIES ON HUMAN EMOTIONS

Sponsored by University of California Press, Berkeley

Series Editors:

Aaron Ben-Ze'ev, Ph.d
and
Moshe Zeidner, Ph.d

Center for the Interdisciplinary Research on Emotions
University of Haifa, Mt. Carmel 31905, Israel

Scope and Orientation of Series

The series will publish books on  specific emotions as well as key
substantive   issues in the area of emotion research. Scientific
research on emotions has significantly increased over the past  decade.
Although the
bulk of recent research has been psychological in  orientation, there
also has been a growing interest in the study of emotions in other
disciplines as well, such as: physiology and neuroscience, philosophy,
anthropology,
sociology, communications, literature, linguistics, and  history.
Despite the recent recognition of the importance of a multi-disciplinary
and multi-modal and integrative approach to human emotions,  books
published in various areas of emotions have been uni-disciplinary in
nature. In contradistinction, the unique feature of the proposed series
is that it is designed to  present an interdisciplinary perspective on
specific emotions
and central issues in the study of emotions. It will describe the
results of conceptual and empirical studies in a way that both the
general  audience and specialists in the areas of human behavior and
allied disciplines will find of interest. The book series will consist
of authored manuscripts rather than edited volumes.

A partial list of specific  emotions that will be targetted and  merits
consideration for a volume in the series include:
