Richard L. Gregory FRSE was Emeritus Professor of Neuropsychology, Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol. He died in 2010.
`This wonderful companion has lived in my study and been a pleasure
for browsing. Richard Gregory is surely the ideal guide for a grand
tour of the mind- engaging and personable, his stamp is impressed
throughout, with wit, humour, knowledge, insights and
eccentricities, as well as fine obituaries. Without doubt this
would make a perfect present for any psychologist or would-be
psychologist student.'
The Psychologist
`Review from previous edition any reader with a serious interest in
mental phenomena will find this a feast of a book'
Times Higher Education Supplement
`a masterful compilation in one volume of virtually every important
aspect of mind, brain and consciousness'
Washington Post
`This new edition deserves a place on the shelf of any psychology
buff'
FT Magazine
`the book is wholly admirable and will give pleasure, enlightenment
and stimulation in all the years to come'
Guardian
`The second edition of Richard Gregory's lovely book does justice
to the greatness of its subject and to its renowned
predecessor.'
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
`The book's compact and sober exterior belies a breadth and
exuberance as astonishing as the paradoxes it celebrates.'
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
`...universally readable, frequently entertaining, and sometimes
historic pieces ranging in scope from definitions and brief
vignettes to substantial essays.'
