Ecocritic Harold Fromm's challenging exploration of these and related questions twines his own physical experiences...

Brain, Mind and Behaviour: A New Perspective on Human Nature
ISBN: 9781460980705 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Psychology is the science that should enable us to understand ourselves and others.
