Description
"....Written by experts in the field-academics, physicians, and researchers-and edited by Goldstein (psychology, Univ. of Pittsburgh), the approximately 375 articles in this two-volume set present exhaustive information and research about perception and the senses through which we perceive: visual, auditory, olfactory, taste, and touch.... BOTTOM LINE: Previous reference titles such as Irving B. Weiner's Handbook of Psychology or the Encyclopedia of Human Emotions give comparatively brief coverage of perception and limit the information to biological/sensory perception or physiology and perception. A valuable addition to reference collections and a necessity for psychology collections." -- Marilyn Searson Lary * Library Journal *
