Reviews
"Wood's treatment of these perplexing issues is straightforward. He does not burden readers with philosophical jargon, does not bore readers with esoteric details, and does not offer simplistic answers...Wood brings the analytic mind of a psychologist to his book without the cluttering style of academic psychologese which undergraduates generally abhor" Scott G. Paris, APA Review of Books
