"Concise and well written, this is an excellent introduction to the subject for undergraduates and a useful review for all veterans who wish to check that they are up to date. I found it extremely informative and inspiring. Indeed, in my 30 year career, this is one of the most enjoyable academic texts I've read." - Ellen Goudsmit, The Psychologist, Vol. 24, No. 4, April 2008
