As mentioned elsewhere, my own academic background is in the behavioural and health sciences, specifically psychology. And aside from my research on various biological and physiological aspects of behaviour, one of my key interests is in the scientific and epistemological underpinnings of the field. Hence this book, a brief guide to the conceptual and historical aspects of psychology.
Well, congratulations, readers in India and other SAARC countries! (FYI, India is the fifth most popular source of traffic to this blog.) Because you can now benefit from this volume too: Pearson have released a new 2014 edition, just for you guys!

Nice touches all round, I feel.
Alrighty then, Blatant Plug Alert over. Back to your day.
