Publisher Synopsis
"Modern progress in science depends critically on interdisciplinary endeavor, and psychology has had its share of alliances. We've had psycholinguistics, cognitive neuroscience, cognitive archeology, evolutionary psychology, not to mention the offspring spawned by the incursion of neuroimaging: neuroaesthetics, neuroeconomics, neuroethics, neuroethology, neuropolitics, neurotheology, even neuromarketing. None quite captures the breadth of inquiry needed to fathom the mind. This excellent volume brings together a diverse range of expertise, neatly captured by the volume's title. The phrase 'cognitive biology' stands to become the byword for a fully integrative science of the mind." --Michael Corballis, Professor of Psychology, University of Auckland Read more...
