Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having investigated temperament for four decades, mostly at the University of Warsaw, Stelau decided that it was time to integrate the findings encysted in widely separated studies that are geographically narrow, limited to specific paradigms and conceptualizations, or focus on a select age group. The thoroughness of his compendium forced him to consider only what he sees as the most important issues because of size constraints. He writes primarily for psychology students, but also has in mind professionals from the many fields in which particular views of temperament have been developed and are being used in isolation.
