Opening Skinner's Box: Great Psychological Experiments of the Twentieth Century Book

"A vivid, insightful account....Told with wit and warmth."—Kirkus Reviews Through ten examples of ingenious experiments by some of psychology's most innovative thinkers, Lauren Slater traces the evolution of the century's most pressing concerns—free will, authoritarianism, conformity, morality.
