Lively investigation. Andrew Robinson, Lancet Never less than fascinating. William Leith, Financial Times A terrific book.

He offers a masterfully original and beautifully written perspective on one of the most fundamental aspects of the human mind. Elizabeth F. Loftus, Distinguished Professor, Department of Psychology and Social Behavior, University of California, Irvine
