Summary |
"Was love invented by European poets in the Middle Ages, or is it part of human nature? Will winning the lottery really make you happy? Is it possible to build robots that have feelings?"

Drawing on a wide range of scientific research, from anthropology and psychology to neuroscience and artifical intelligence, Emotion: The Science of Sentiment takes the reader on a fascinating journey into the human heart."--BOOK JACKET |
