The 15 papers included in this volume are uniformly well written and informative. Together they constitute a comprehensive and scholarly summary of recent empirical and theoretical work on face perception. Although this volume will be of most interest to specialists working in face perception, nonspecialists in cognitive, developmental, and biological psychology should find the research and theoretical advances summarized in these papers of considerable interest ... most of the papers are written in an engaging and nontechnical style, so that individuals in applied areas (e.g. police science, law or cosmetic surgery) should find them informative as well.
