Rezensionen

'In 100 autobiographical essays, psychology's preeminent contributors reveal the roots and fruits of their famed contributions. Here are stories for posterity, from the funding barriers that challenged Thomas Bouchard's study of reared-apart twins, to Michael Gazzaniga's exhilaration on discovering the wonders of human split-brains, to Carol Dweck's 'me-search' on how she and others could find a thriving mindset when facing obstacles. This is living history - and a great read for both psychological scientists and students.' David G. Myers, Hope College, Michigan
