Praise for The Cognitive Sciences, Second Edition
“I am impressed with the completeness of the text. I have suffered from some tunnel vision thinking that all cognitive science intros needed to be more thematic. The field approach of this one is a refreshing change.”
– Kenneth M. Moorman, Transylvania University
“You have a winner. It is well organized, cutting edge, theoretical, and substantive, and easy to read. The stories and contextualization of the material for the reader was the biggest strength of this text.”
– Thelon Byrd Jr., Bowie State University
“The text is clear, organized, and, overall, very well-written. In fact, it has been a pleasure to read. It should be very accessible to undergrads in an introductory cognitive science course, whether majors or not.”
– Michael R. Scheessele, Indiana University South Bend
