I am both amazed and stunned by this conversation. Today I received the ad announcing Gazzaniga's Intro text. I was hurriedly uncluttering my office before leaving for the weekend and almost threw the add away, but then I thought, "What does Gazzaniga have to say to intro students?" I took a quick look inside and scanned the contents. I noticed numerous chapters titled with the word "cognition" in them. Ahh, something new. Is this the direction the field and I might want to pursue? I set the ad down in my "check-it-out" pile and left my office soon after. It is still sitting there waiting for my attention. My point is, I didn't even notice the picture of the text's cover. I'd like to hear some discussion about what is inside Gazzaniga's text. For now, I don't want to "judge the book by its cover." I'd like to encourage all of the rest of you to consider doing this too. Does anyone have any words to offer about what we will find inside the controversial cover?
Let us hear from you, Laura Laura Valvatne, Ph.D. Psychology Shasta College 11555 Old Oregon Trail Redding, CA 96049 (530) 225-4954 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Jean-Marc Perreault [mailto:jmarc55@;yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 8:33 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences Subject: Re: Gazzaniga's Intro text Hi Donald, I have to admit I am amused by all the fuss created over Micheal Sylvester. I find him to be creative after all (some of his ideas ARE farfetched after all!!). One thing all Tipsters should remember is that most (if not all) email programs include filters which can block out emails based on subject, sender, or else. So really, anyone who does not want to read Micheal's mail only has to put those filters to work. This takes care of the liberty of expression issue. He will still be posting to the list, but less and less people will be reading him... and by consequence, less and less will reply to him. If anyone dislikes the contents of Micheal Sylvester's messages, simply get rid of them all together. Just thought I'd share this little piece of knowledge of technology.
