An excellent text for our masters course on meaning and cognition
This is a fluently-written book covering a wide range of approaches to the topic of social cognition. This is a welcome step forward in a field of study that is marked by fragmentation. The book will be valuable to my students who are seeking to get a reasonably balanced overview of different theoretical approaches to the topic.
I thought the first two editions of this book were excellent, and the third hasn't let me down.
What I really like is the way that the authors have applied three of the most interesting and forward thinking social psychological approaches to come out the European tradition to the social cognition. The authors approach to their subject matter is refreshing, innovative and insightful.
Excellent!
