Book Synopsis
Renowned psychologist Robert J. Sternberg assembles a diverse group of experts to examine how hate originates, develops, manifests, and spreadsand how it can be counteracted.

Trade Review
In this newly edited volume Sternberg (Cornell Univ.) again brings together an impressive cadre of scholars in the attempt to answer one of the most important questions of our time (perhaps to be known as "human time"), namely, how and why people hate…. The work is theoretically grounded but practical in tone and provides methods of application to help readers discuss and reduce hate and hate-based actions…. The book will be appreciated by all readers but especially by teachers and researchers in this important area. * choice *
