This handbook includes state-of-the-art research on love in classical, modern and postmodern perspectives. It expands on previous
literature and explores topics around love from new cultural, intercultural and transcultural approaches and across disciplines.
It provides insights into various love concepts, like romantic love, agape, and eros in their cultural embeddedness, and their
changes and developments in specific cultural contexts. It also includes discussions on postmodern aspects with regard to
love and love relationships, such as digitalisation, globalisation and the fourth industrial revolution. The handbook covers
a vast range of topics in relation to love: aging, health, special needs, sexual preferences, spiritual practice, subcultures,
family and other relationships, and so on. The chapters look at love not only in terms of the universal concept and in private,
intimate relationships, but apply a broad concept of love which can also, for example, be referred to in postmodern workplaces.
This volume is of interest to a wide readership, including researchers, practitioners and students of the social sciences,
humanities and behavioural sciences.
In the 1970s through the 90s, I was told that globalization was homogenizing cultures into a worldwide monoculture. This volume, as risky and profound as the many adventures of love across our multiplying cultures are, proves otherwise. The authors' revolutionary and courageous work will challenge our sensibilities and expand the boundaries of what we understand what love is. But that's what love does: It communicates what is; offers what can be; and pleads for what must be. I know you'll enjoy this wonderful book as much as I do!

The International Handbook of Love is far more than a traditional compendium. It is a breath-taking attempt to synthesize our anthropological and sociological knowledge on love. It illuminates topics as diverse as Chinese love, one-night stands, teen romance or love of leaders and many more. This is a definitive reference in the field of love studies.
