About this book

This edited book demonstrates how love both unites and separates academic thinking across the arts and humanities, and beyond: from popular romance studies to border criminology, from sexology to peace studies, and into the fields of health, medicine, and engineering. This book is both a reflection and a call for a greater understanding of the complexity and importance of love in our lives, and in our world.

Reviews

“All you need is love. Surely no topic is more important for our collective and planetary wellbeing. This inspiring collection of interdisciplinary writings charts how central the concerns of 'love' are to our future, approaching the concept with eyes and heart wide open. Bridging arts and sciences, East and West, ancient and contemporary perspectives, this is an opportunity to cherish, wrestle and wonder at this thing we call, love.” (Professor Kit Wise, Dean, School of Art, Chair, The Australian Council of University Art and Design Schools (ACUADS)Secretary, The Australian Council for Deans and Directors of Creative Arts (DDCA)RMIT University – School of Art)
