In this enlightening biography, award- winning academic psychologist Michael Corballis

and anecdotes that occurred along the way. Since the Second World War, psychology
has undergone several scientific movements, from behaviourism to cognitive psychology
and finally to neuroscience. In this fascinating biography, Corballis recounts his
career as a researcher who played a partin these monumental changes in psychology.
Beginning with his boarding-school education in New Zealand, Corballis goes on to
recount his PhD studies and behavioural research into mirror-image discriminations
in pigeons, the uprising of the "cognitive revolution" amidst 1960s counterculture
and his switch to become a cognitive psychologist, his research into brain asymmetry
and the evolution of language and its origin of manual gestures, and the development
of mental time travel in animals. Featuring stories of prominent scientists who were
integral in psychology's biggest discoveries and insight into the heated debates and
controversies in psychology during a time of great scientific and sociocultural change,
this biography is a must-read for those interested in how psychology became established
as a science
