"Fear" by A. (Angelo) Mosso is a detailed scientific analysis of fear, especially how it links to the human body. Beginning with the author's own chilling story of giving his first public lecture, the book uncovers the physical reactions triggered by intense anxiety, such as a racing heart and shortness of breath, which, for Mosso, interfered with his ability to think clearly. With this personal experience serving as a launchpad, the book moves to investigate different emotional upsets and their effects on the body, setting the stage for a scientific breakdown of fear's many forms and consequences.
