Private investigator John McAlister is looking for something
different. Something that doesn't involve the divorce surveillance
work he is so good at. But when high-powered society attorney
Amanda Baker hires him to find a missing accused crack dealer, John
gets more change than he bargained for when he learns that other
accused drug criminals have gone missing. John's search leads him
through a world of urban drug dealers, country honkytonks, high
society and twisted law enforcement, with a stop at one of Amanda's
divorce trials. Along the way, he learns some things he would
rather not know, and narrowly escapes with his life. Set in Memphis
and the surrounding Delta, "Bluff Walk" is a page-turning mystery
thriller that captures the complexity of Southern society, high and
low, and the haunting effects of the past on the present. CHARLES
R. CRAWFORD has practiced with one of the oldest and largest law
firms in Memphis for over twenty years. Author of several published
articles and reviews, "Bluff Walk" is his first novel. Mr. Crawford
is currently at work on the second in the John McAlister Mystery
series.
Evolutionary psychology is concerned with the adaptive problems
early humans faced in ancestral human environments, the nature of
the psychological mechanisms natural selection shaped to deal with
those ancient problems, and the ability of the resulting evolved
psychological mechanisms to deal with the problems people face in
the modern world. Evolutionary psychology is currently advancing
our understanding of altruism, moral behavior, family violence,
sexual aggression, warfare, aesthetics, the nature of language, and
gender differences in mate choice and perception. It is helping us
understand the relationships between cognitive science,
developmental psychology, behavior genetics, personality, and
social psychology.
Foundations of Evolutionary Psychology provides an up-to-date
review of the ideas, issues, and applications of contemporary
evolutionary psychology. It is suitable for senior undergraduates,
first year graduate students, or professionals who wish to become
conversant with the major issues currently shaping the emergence of
this dynamic new field. It will be interesting to psychologists,
anthropologists, sociologists, economists, philosophers, cognitive
scientists, and anyone interested in using new developments in the
theory of evolution to gain new insights into human behavior.
