Leibo and Susan C. Cloninger About the Editors and Contributors Index
This book examines the dynamics that lead to anger in individuals, within groups, and between groups; identifies the role of the media in angry group behavior; and offers solutions for dealing with angry groups and channeling that negative energy in positive ways.
Susan C. Cloninger, PhD, is professor emerita of psychology at The Sage Colleges, Troy and Albany, NY, where she taught for 36 years before retiring. Steven A. Leibo, PhD, is professor of international history and politics at Russell Sage College in Troy, NY, and associate in research at Harvard University.
This book does an excellent job of combining insights from
neuroscience, sociology, history, and political science to explain
the phenomena of past and current group behavior and philosophy
both nationally and globally. VERDICT Although this quality work
has a scholarly bent and would most appeal to undergraduates,
general readers will also be well served by the timeliness of this
thought-provoking material.
