Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
If you've ever wondered about the mind and behavior, the Norton Psychology Reader is the perfect place to start. From the biological basis of emotion to the psychological basis of culture, from the nature of nurture to the nature of intelligence, with selections by leading scientists with a knack for writing—including Steven Pinker, Joseph Ledoux, Antonio Damasio, Oliver Sacks, and Robert Sapolsky—and top-notch journalists with an uncanny sense for psychology—including Natalie Angier, Daniel Goleman, and Sylvia Nasar—the Norton Psychology Reader presents the best that psychology has to offer. Edited by noted New York University psychologist Gary Marcus, the Norton Psychology Reader is an unparalleled guided tour through the modern science of the human mind and a perfect companion to any introductory psychology course, filled with insights completely accessible to the interested lay reader.

After having read Gary Marcus' 'The Birth of the Mind' (dont miss it!) and having translated into italian his amazing 'Kluge: the Haphazard Construction of the Human Mind' (on print soon even in Italy) I can consider myself a real 'supporter' of this talented writer and insightful psychology professor. My opinion of him is so biased and I am so addicted to his work that I couldnt stop with those two and ordered 'The Norton Psychology Reader', which collects some of my favourite authors: Pinker, Sacks, Chomsky, Goleman, Csikszentmihalyi, LeDoux - and lots of other talented scientist Im now happily getting to know. All of them contribute to make this book a chest overflowing with modern psychology jewels, a companion on the way to the understanding of the mind, a compendium tracing a lay scientific way to enlightenment! Wanna make the trilogy complete? After 'The Birth of the Mind' and 'Kluge', get this book!

This book provides a fabulous overview of some of psychology's greatest works - chapter-long excerpts from renowned psychologists like James, Freud, Pinker, Chomsky and so many more. A great way to get a feel for some of these original works (without getting bogged down with pages and pages of over-technical psycho-babble). Great for the undergraduate psychology student.
