Review # 1 was written on 2012-05-30 00:00:00 JACK GENSER For those looking for a treatise on evolutionary psychology, this is not it. Instead it is precisely what the title claims, an overview of the history of evolutionary thought within academic psychology, particularly that of the United States. Another way of looking at it, is this being an exploration of how various disciplines of science are and are not perceived to work together. What's truly fascinating is the role social mores played into the utilization of various evolutionary ideas, with some being discarded simply by virtue of their connection to a particular person. Getting to the end is to be left with more questions than answers, particularly if the interest is in how biological science and psychology are to work together. Regardless of the answer, that they must work together is both inevitable and needed.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-07-07 00:00:00 Valentina Barcelloni-corte This book is fabulous! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The pictures are among the most influential in Western Art History. Of course, this is an impossibly ambitious project. To bring Art History from Greek -Roman beginnings to Christian art, Medieval art, classical era and the renaissance, with a great summary on theory and criticism was always going to be difficult and a momentous task. But this book hasn't stopped there. It included American, South American, Soviet Union, African and African Caribbean art along with photography and well chosen 19th and 20th century pieces, which as a group became nearly too massive to comprehend. However, the reading is easy and immensely interesting. Having picked up a copy in my local library, I am now actively looking for a copy to buy. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for anyone with an interest in History of Western Art. Amazing. 5 stars!
