As a career sociologist I ?rst became interested in neurosociology around 1987 when a graduate student lent me Michael Gazzaniga’s The Social Brain. Ifthe biological human brain was really social, I thought sociologists and their students should be the ?rst, not the last, to know.

From the reviews: "The intent of this book is to break down 'the walls between sociology and neuroscience to the benefit of both' ... . clearly intended for sociological social psychologists. ... How successful was this book in achieving the relevant depth and comprehensiveness of the issue raised above? Very successful in both respects. ... this book clearly identifies and explains the pivotal issues in this literature. ... the author has done an excellent as well as timely job in drawing out these implications." (Paul Tibbetts, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 86 (3), September, 2011)
