Biopsychologist Schneider (U. of the Pacific, US) takes the reader on a tour of how consequences (perhaps analogous to incentives) shape animal and human behavior and development across a range of biopsychological disciplinary fields, including genetics, neuroscience, psychology, animal behavior, human abnormal behavior, education, and economics. Her perspective on the importance of consequences is influenced by her mentor, the behaviorist psychologist, B. F. Skinner. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
