The many
instructors who responded to market research surveys and
interviews over the past several years have also contributed greatly to the text
and its ancillaries. I would like to give a special thank you to several colleagues.
Simon LeVay
is
not only a gifted researcher but a truly elegant writer.
His careful review of the chapter on sexual behavior is
deeply appreciated.
Marie Banich
at the
University of Colorado at Boulder provided her expert
opinions on the art program, and
Gayle
Brosnan-Watters
at Slippery Rock University contributed many helpful suggestions as a reviewer and while working with me on
the first edition of the Test Bank.
John
Cacioppo
of the University of Chicago generously shared his
considerable insight into the social aspects of neuroscience.
Larry
Butcher
of UCLA, one
of my former professors, provided valuable assistance in the fine tuning of one of my
figures.
Rick Howe
and the students and faculty of the psychology department at College of the Canyons
in California not only took the time to meet with me to share their reactions to the First
Edition, but fed me cookies as well.
At Cengage,
Jane
Potter,
Senior Sponsoring Editor for Psychology, has championed
my text through two editions.
Mary Falcon,
my development editor for the Second Edition, was my sounding board and partner every step of the way.
Pat
Waldo,
senior project manager, guided the production of the text and coordinated
innumerable aspects of the art and text program.Photo researcher
Lisa Jelly
Smith,
tenaciously pursued the photos that enliven the text.
Vernon Boes,
Art Director, guided our design to new hights in appeal
and useabilty. I would also like to thank the many other capable and creative
professionals at Cengage who contributed to this project in ways large and small
over the years of its development.
Finally, I
would like to thank my family for their patience and
support.
Roger,
my husband of 40 years, read every word, helped me choose photos, and
even contributed some of our original sketches when I had trouble articulating what I wanted
to show.
My daughters,
Kristin, Karen, and Karla,
frequently offered their encouragement and student perspectives. In particular, I would like to dedicate
this edition to two of my former readers who passed away this year: my mother,
June Sievers,
and my brother,
Leroy
Sievers,
a gifted writer and Emmy-winning news producer. I will miss
their advice. I am very much indebted to all.
