"well-written and organized and carefully researched. Even though it includes some fairly complex scientific explanations, these sections are well-written and understandable. I recommend this insightful and helpful book to anyone who deals with "difficult people" in their work or in their personal relationships." -- Living the Scientific Life, a SEED ScienceBlog, reviewed by GrrlScientist, March 27, 2009
