Recenzje

'As social animals, humans are born with a healthy dose of empathy and prosociality. It is paramount to know how these tendencies develop in the young and how they can be augmented. For anyone interested in this complex topic, this handbook does an admirable job reviewing current knowledge.' Frans de Waal, author of Mama's Last Hug: Animal Emotions and What They Tell Us about Ourselves
