For courses in Cognitive Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Learning and Memory, Philosophy of Mind, and Philosophy of Psychology. The first book that fully integrates information about the brain and neural processing into the standard curriculum in cognitive psychology. Based on a need for a text that could accurately, productively, and seamlessly integrate information on both the brain and neural processing, Edward E. Smith (Columbia University) and Stephen M. Kosslyn (Harvard University) created Cognitive Psychology: Mind and Brain 1.e. Without question, the study of cognition has progressed enormously over the past decade. Most importantly, much of the recent progress in cognitive studies has come from the advent of cognitive neuroscience, which uses neuroscientific methods and data to address psychological issues. However, throughout years of academic teaching, the authors came to realize that no currently available book was able to summarize and make accessible the major findings, theories, and research the field had produced. Now, in this text's first edition, these issues have been addressed. Using findings in neuroscience to illuminate and motivate key distinctions in cognitive psychology, the authors have written a cognitive psychology book that is informed by neuroscience - the first of its kind and one poised to set a new standard in undergraduate cognitive studies.

This work offers a fascinating scientific approach to the nutritional value and uses of food. Part of the Cookery Series, this reprint is composed of three parts: Solid Foods, Liquids, and Gaseous Foods, the third part of which looks at the air as food. For the visual learner, there are tables and graphs, many of which refer to the composition of specific foods, which can be helpful to both scientific and general readers. Smith also includes fifteen recipes from a rare volume called "Cury", which contains a copy of a manuscript recipes by Richard II's master cook.

Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820) was an influential botanist and patron of science. He accompanied Captain Cook on the voyage of the Endeavour to the South Seas (1768-1771), financed other important expeditions, and became President of the Royal Society. This 1911 publication was the first detailed biography of this remarkable man.
