To mark the birthday of the world's most renowned evolutionary biologist, Oxford University Press has reissued the definitive edition of Darwin's classic-abrilliantly 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 dowe 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 bookeven 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 dejectionof 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 INDICE: Acknowledgments List of Illustrations Figures Plates Preface to the Anniversary Edition by Paul Ekman Preface to the Third Edition by Paul EkmanPreface to the Second Edition by Francis Darwin Introduction to the Third Edition by Paul Ekman The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals Introduction to the First Edition 1: General Principles of Expression 2: General Principles of Expression -- continued 3: General Principles of Expression -- continued 4: Means of Expression in Animals 5: Special Expressions of Animals 6: Special Expressions of Man: Suffering and Weeping 7: Low Spirits, Anxiety, Grief, Dejection, Despair 8: Joy, High Spirits, Love, Tender Feelings, Devotion 9: Reflection - Meditation - Ill-temper - Sulkiness - Determination 10: Hatred and Anger 11: Disdain - Contempt - Disgust - Guilt - Pride, Etc. - Helplessness - Patience - Affirmation and Negation 12: Surprise - Astonishment - Fear - Horror 13: Self-attention - Shame - Shyness - Modesty: Blushing 14: Concluding Remarks and Summary Afterword, by Paul Ekman APPENDIX I: Charles Darwin's Obituary, by T.
