Reviews

The book contains some excellent material written by some very fine scientists. I, for one, learned a lot and profited from my reading. The book should be of interest to comparative psychologists, students of human innovation and creativity, and others with a general interest in these topics. I recommend it to the reader who can profit from its excellent chapters. PsycCRITIQUES December 14, 2015, Vol. 60, No. 50, Article 1
