Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), minor edgewear. 280 pp. In this wonderfully readable book, two distinguished scientists, Patrick Bateson and Paul Martin, explain how biology (nature) and psychology (nurture) join to shape the behavior of individual human beings. They counter the mistaken notion that individual genes solely determine certain personality traits; instead, they explain the role genes actually play in the formation of personality. Shows how change is a vital component of human behavior, restoring the concept of free will to its central place in human psychology. How is it possible for each of 6 billion human beings to be unique? How does each of us grow up to be the person we are? How do behavior and personality develop? Bateson is professor of ethology (the biological study of behaviour) at Cambridge University.
