For some reasons love has never been a main concern for academics. Anna Guðrún Jónasdóttir coined the term "ástarkraftur (love power) in her doctoral thesis in 1991. This book contains articles from seventeen academics in the fields of education, humanistic and social sciences dealing with love as a human need and occupation. It not only influences the position of individuals but also the function of society, well being and equality.
