The effects of engine noise on the quality and perception of classical music are discussed, encouraging readers to engage deeply with the text. The book covers a wide range of sensory and perceptual topics, written by three authors with a uniform and well-integrated style. It intermixes different sensations rather than separating them. A comprehensive glossary, 23 pages of references with 500 scientific papers, and good indexes are included. Special topics, such as calculating d-prime or neural responses, are inserted for advanced readers. The book is praised for its attractive design and low price.
F. W. Campbell is a Reader in Neurosensory Physiology at the University of Cambridge. The book "How the Mind Works" by Sandy Lovie discusses cognitive psychology, covering perception, imagery, attention, thinking, memory, and semantic memory. Wickelgren synthesizes material from leading researchers, presenting a clear view of cognitive psychology. However, some larger questions about the field are not addressed in detail, as they may detract from the main focus.
The book "Behaviour of Experimental Animals" by B.J. Sahakian discusses methods for observing and quantifying animal behavior. It covers tests for conditioned and unconditioned behaviors, focusing on rodents. The text is suitable for undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers in pharmacology and toxicology. However, the writing style is sometimes vague and lacks references to published research. The summaries at the end of chapters are clear, and the indices are useful. The author shows concern for ethical standards in animal research.
