"...a necessary and provocative resource on an intriguing topic."--CHOICE "Envy: Theory and Research is a fascinating and wide-ranging exploration of the subject of envy... [It] deserves a spot on the bookshelf of anyone interested in the subject of human behavior. Psychologists from a wide range of disciplines will find this book to be an important reference. Eminently readable yet sophisticated in its scope, it is appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate students as well as psychologists from a broad range of disciplines and interests. Cognitive psychologists will find it as useful a reference, as will psychoanalysts, industrial/organizational psychologists, and health or social psychologists. It is a rich resource and a worthy examination of a complicated aspect of human nature."--PsycCRITIQUES
