This book is about the science of human love, and the authors do a thorough and illuminating job discussing it. But to many people, wise and important as well as ordinary and work-a-day, love encompasses much more than any scientific treatment of it could offer. Having taught many courses over the years on love, marriage and family psychology, Dr Emener and Dr Lambos often have asked their students, both young and old, many newly graduated with their bachelor's degree and some who held doctorates in other subjects, what the term love meant to them.
