Recenzje

"Undergraduates and graduate students required to read an out-of-print The Organization of Behavior should be very grateful to Richard Brown and Peter Milner for their efforts in re-publishing this seminal book. The arguments outlined in the book remain just as compelling and transparent as they were 40 years ago when I first read the book. The book's Foreword summarizes and integrates many of the observations made about the ideas in the book by scholars in their course materials, biographies, obituaries, and even in the book's reviews that appeared after its initial publication."
