'Lieberman provides an excellent introduction to the psychological science of learning and memory, from historical developments to current research. He also shows how this knowledge can be used to understand behavior in the real world. The breadth of coverage is impressive; whereas most textbooks of this kind focus mostly on either learning or memory, Lieberman covers both in equal depth. His conversational style makes this a very accessible read.' John Green, University of Vermont
