One of the most stimulating things about Professor Furnham's book is that it promises to stimulate more professional arguments than it will put to rest. When directed at any social scientist, that is the ultimate compliment. - Dr Greenberg in the foreword ... methodical, sympathetic and clear exposition of the arguments. - Journal of Economic Psychology
