Because psychology is a "hub science," keeping up with this field is a good way to also stay abreast of other disciplines. Fiske (Princeton U.) and her coeditors thus introduce 26 contributed
chapters on current thinking and research in many expected areas of the field including neuroscience in relation to learning, stress, development; sensory perception; aging; psychopathology;
human factors; and personality. Less expected topics include love, social justice, and cognitive neural prosthetics for patients with paralysis or amputations. Chapters features boxed summary
points, future directions (in some cases), and literature cited. The volume includes cumulative indices of the contributing authors and chapter titles in volumes 51-61; a list of relevant
articles in the Annual Reviews of related fields (e.g., anthropology, law and social science, neuroscience, public health, and sociology); and color illustrations. Annotation 穢2010 Book News,
