Endangered! The ability to empathise?

How do you feel? How well can we tell?  

According to a 2010 study from the University of Michigan, the ability to empathise declined by 40% over the past three decades.  Is this important? Should we be concerned?

This month's featured e-resource is The Moral Dimensions of Empathy.  It outlines the ways in which empathy is important in meeting the demands of morality. RCS staff and students can read the whole book online at www.springer.com.  

You can look for the book on the library website using the "Search Catalogue Plus" option.
