Biography
Kevin R. Murphy
"Murphy has put together a forceful collection of chapters that both challenge and support the EI construct. Any researcher interested in emotion will find this text a great addition to his or her library....The book is worthy of adoption for either an undergraduate or a graduate seminar in EI....The chapters of the text are organized quite nicely in four sections."
