Barry Schwartz, Steven Robbins, and new coauthor Edward Wasserman
offer students an engaging introduction to the basic principles of
Pavlovian conditioning, operant conditioning, and comparative
cognition. The text s critical approach exposes students to the
unresolved problems and controversies surrounding behavior theory
and encourages them to interpret the material and make connections
between theories and real-life situations. With several hundred new
references, a new emphasis on comparative cognition, and expanded
treatment of neuroscience and the neural basis of learning, the
Fifth Edition sets the standard in its coverage of contemporary
theory and research."
This memoir describes the journey of John (Jack) Miller. The book
explores how his personal journey is related to the work he has
done in holistic education, contemplative education, and
spirituality in education. In holistic education the personal and
professional are connected. Professor Miller's journey includes
events, books, teachers, and the many factors in his life that have
contributed to his work, which includes more than 20 books and
extensive travel around the world. An example of the relationship
between the personal and the professional is that Jack began
meditating in 1974 and this practice has provided the foundation
for much of his teaching and writing. Professor Miller's book, The
Holistic Curriculum, first published in 1988 along with the
publication of the Holistic Education Review have been seen as the
beginning of holistic education as a field of study. Since his
journey has been connected with so many other holistic educators,
this book can serve as one perspective on how the field has
unfolded over the past 35 years. Besides this historical
perspective the book includes a chapter on his meditation practice
as well his beliefs. There is also a chapter on his teaching and
how he attempts to embody holistic education in his classroom
