"I stopped using textbooks more than a decade ago, but that's about to change. Given that Ward's is the very first textbook focusing on social neuroscience, I am extremely impressed. It will be the best around for years to come. It is current, broad, and precise. The writing style will be accessible to undergraduates, graduates, and even professors. It is the perfect introduction to this exciting new field." - Matthew D. Lieberman, Professor of Psychology, Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles, USA "The first book of its kind, this well written and accessible text provides a compelling introduction to many of the fascinating questions, methods, and findings in the burgeoning field of social neuroscience." - John T. Cacioppo, Professor and Director of the Center for Cognitive and Social Neuroscience, University of Chicago, USA "This book will be very useful in providing students with a complete and clear introduction to the field of social neuroscience. Particularly useful is the inclusion of a chapter on social neuroscience methods, that will give students the tools to better understand the extensive collection of studies described in the book." - Iroise Dumontheil, Institute of Neuroscience, University College London, UK
