Review

"John T. Cacioppo and Louis G. Tassinary have provided a lucid, masterful, and simply amazing resource for both the educated novice and seasoned professional. The authors demonstrate an astonishing breadth of knowledge and sophistication in even editing such a volume....this book was brilliantly planned and beautifully executed....is without peer and will undoubtedly be an invaluable edition for years to come. Cacioppo and Tassinary have demonstrated how talent and diligence can bring order to seemingly hopeless complexity." Brett A. Clementz, Contemporary Psychology "Cacioppo and Tassinary are to be congratulated for packaging this almost 1,000 page book in such a fine way. It is useful for the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate student. It could serve as a textbook in a survey course. It is a model volume of this type." Jordan Grafman, Ph.D., International Journal of Clinical Neuropsychology ."..is part textbook, part reference book, with a strong 'how to do it' emphasis. Throughout the book, authors emphasize the need for a clear understanding of both psychological and physiological issues. Current and aspiring investigators in psychophysiology should find it a valuable resource." James W.
