Through ten examples of ingenious experiments by some of psychology's most innovative thinkers, Lauren Slater traces the evolution of the century's most pressing concerns—free will, authoritarianism, conformity, and morality. Beginning with B. F. Skinner and the legend of a child raised in a box, Slater takes us from a deep empathy with Stanley Milgram's obedience subjects to a funny and disturbing re-creation of an experiment questioning the validity of psychiatric diagnosis. Previously described only in academic journals and textbooks, these often daring experiments have never before been narrated as stories, chock-full of plot, wit, personality, and theme.

Why do our faces look so different from those of our ancestor – Early Man? Do animals’ teeth wear out? Why are they sometimes such funny shapes like tusks and fangs? An Eye for a Tooth: The teeth of animals aims to fill a gap in the genre of popular science. It explains and describes in everyday language how important teeth are to animals, how they function and why they are different shapes. It also looks at all aspects of the jaw system. The book deals with the dentitions of dinosaurs, primitive animals, sharks and rays, lizards, snakes, crocodiles and alligators. There is an extensive section on mammals, covering many different creatures of different shapes and sizes, including whales, herbivores and carnivores. An Eye for a Tooth is not a comprehensive survey, but examples of each Order are considered and some unusually interesting dentitions are mentioned. The book concludes with sections on human evolution, evolutionary niches and the future of teeth. This book is an ideal companion for any fans of popular science who are looking to expand their knowledge, as well as those interested in evolution.

Welcome to the nightmare . . . There is a world you don't know about, inhabited by supernatural creatures of darkness—vampires, werewolves, and all manner of savage, impossible beasts that live for terror and slaughter and blood. They are all around us but you cannot see them, for knowledge of their presence—so close and so hungry—would surely drive any ordinary human insane. But for centuries a special breed of hunter has kept the monsters at bay, preventing them from breaking through the increasingly fragile barriers protecting our mortal realm. These guardians are called skinners. But beware . . . for there are very few of them left.
