Product Information
Whether our personality, intelligence, and behavior are more likely to be shaped by our environment or our genetic coding is not simply an idle question for researchers. This work looks at this and other important issues. It also explains the insights gained into how the brain functions and how it can (or cannot) be molded and changed.Product Identifiers
