[ Emotions] serves as a crucial reminder that emotions shape the educational experience and contribute to moral development, advocating for an approach that recognizes their significance in fostering a just society. An essential read for those interested in education and emotional intelligence. Highly recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty. * CHOICE * Even when educators figured emotions into theory/practice, feelings were too often assumed to be ones own, independent of social context and interpersonal interaction. Liz Jacksons Emotions skewers that assumption from a crosscultural perspective and encourages us to refigure the emotional dimensions of educational experience. Both timely and well-argued! -- Barbara S. Stengel, Vanderbilt University, USA In this short and highly accessible book, Jackson takes us on a whistle-stop tour to critically examine the particulars of educating emotions. This book will be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about the educational benefits of a more rounded understanding of compassion, empathy, kindness, resilience and mindfulness, as they are cashed out in learner settings. -- Gerry Dunne, Marino Institute of Education, Ireland
