Editorial Reviews

"The material is ideal for my undergraduate courses: both challenging and accessible for the newcomer. . . . The writing style is clear and immensely readable. I have to admit that I enjoyed reading it; I think my students will too." --Robert Cassidy, Concordia University

"The authors are not afraid to challenge students with some complex issues, such as the relationship between mind and brain, the ecological approach, and Gibsonian theory. . . . This is a very high-quality book." --Penny M. Pexman, University of Calgary
