To mark the birthday of the world's most renowned evolutionary
biologist, Oxford University Press has reissued the definitive
edition of Darwin's classic-a brilliantly entertaining and
accessible exploration of human and animal behavior. Renowned
psychologist Paul Ekman's edited version of this book is the first
to appear the way Darwin ultimately intended, with all of the
corrections and additions that were in Darwin's notes for a
revision that was never published during his lifetime.
"Why do we shrug? Why do dogs wag their tails? Why do we scowl when
angry and pout when sad rather than the other way around? What is
the difference between guilt and shame? This would be an
extraordinary book even if it had only answered these and scores of
similar questions about the emotions in 1872 . . . Darwin enriched
his arguments with hundreds of insightful observations, many with
the pathos and humor of great literature, as when he describes the
terror of a man being led to his execution or the comical dejection
of his dog as soon as it sensed that a walk might end . . . This
edition has the feel not of a lovingly restored museum piece but of
a recent seminal work."--Steven Pinker, Science
"Darwin's most readable and human book . . . undiminished and
intensely relevant even 125 years after publication."--Oliver
Sacks, author of Musicophilia and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for
a Hat
"The Expression of the Emotions predates Freud, and it will still
be illuminating human psychology long after Freud's discrediting is
complete."--Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion
"Highly original . . . this is scholarship at its best."--Simon
Baron-Cohen, Nature
"Ekman's edition is no mere reprint plus introduction."--Mark
Ridley, Scientific American
