Praise for Persuasion

This text is very comprehensive when it comes to the social scientific perspective. The humor adds to the book without being distracting. The meta-analyses are thoughtful and aid in reconciling the seemingly contradictory research findings. And I find the box features to be interesting and frequently offer useful practical advice.
