内容説明

This text attempts to capture a sense of the ferment and reappraisal taking place in the behavioural sciences today. The contributors focus on the new paradigms radically affecting the behavioural sciences and the contributions that behavioural science can make to our understanding of the larger problems facing society - peace, war, population and the environment. They foresee a promising future for the behavioural sciences, incorporating increasingly sophisticated and interdisciplinary approaches to illuminate not only ourselves but also our place in a changing world.
