Where did we come from? What is our connection with other life forms? What are the mechanisms of mind that define what it means to be a human being? Evolutionary psychology is a revolutionary new science, a true synthesis of modern principles of psychology and evolutionary biology. Since the publication of the award-winning first edition of Evolutionary Psychology, there has been an explosion of research within the field. In this book, David M. Buss examines human behavior from an evolutionary perspective, providing students with the conceptual tools needed to study evolutionary psychology and apply them to empirical research on the human mind. This edition contains expanded coverage of cultural evolution, with a new section on culture–gene co-evolution, additional studies discussing interbreeding between modern humans and Neanderthals, expanded discussions of evolutionary hypotheses that have been empirically disconfirmed, and much more! Evolutionary Psychology features a wealth of student-friendly pedagogy including critical-thinking questions and case study boxes designed to show how to apply evolutionary psychology to real-life situations. It is an invaluable resource for undergraduates studying psychology, biology and anthropology. See "Support Material" below for new online resources, including PowerPoint slides and Instructor’s Manual and Test Bank.

Clearly the best introductory textbook on evolutionary psychology
Among academics who teach introductory courses in evolutionary psychology, this is widely agreed to be the leading textbook. Dr. David Buss was "there at the beginning," a few decades ago, has been a productive and respected scholar. He has been an academic leader in organizations relevant to this important field of study. This book is comprehensive, interesting to read, and readable. Although a university-type textbook, it is accessible to any reader who Is interested in an in-depth treatment of this field of study. For those who want a quicker overview of this topic, there are many good books for the general public. One very good example, although a bit dated, is "The Moral Animal" by journalist and author Robert Wright.

A gold mine.
This book is a gold mine. The author explores deeply the evolutionary and psychological mechanisms that lead to our attitudes in the 21st century. Particularly interesting for understanding the long and short term strategies of both sexes. Also, there are pictures, charts, boxes and sidebars; all items that make the reading much more intuitive than in traditional books.Not only is it useful for studying purpose, but also for every-day life.Conclusion: This book is worth every € you'll invest in for.Bonus: I had a little problem with taxes that the seller helped me fix very quickly.

Kısa incelemem
Kitap elime geçti. Basım kalitesi güzel, dili akıcı, kitaptaki resimlerin çoğu renkli fakat önemsiz olanları renksiz basmışlar (yazarın resmi, bazı grafikler, görece psikoloji için önemsiz görseller vsvs. ). David emminin ingilizcesini biraz ortalama üstü bir ingilizceniz varsa anlamakta zorlanacağınızı düşünmüyorum. Psikoloji ile ilgilenenlerin kesinlikle elinin altında bulunması lazım. Her ne kadar evrimsel psikolojiyi akademik camia içinde taşlasalar da, bu kitap insanların yönelimleri hakkında güzel bir bakış açısı sunacaktır. Fiyat konusuna gelirsek, kur farkından yüksek fiyatlandırılıyor, indirim zamanını kollarsanız 100-200 Tl ucuza kapatabilirsiniz.
