One of the founders of the APA, Miller writes in a elequant style forgotten by most authors. His reports into the lives of of the founding fathers of psychology really helps the student understand the circumstances behind the theories that so influence modern psychology. The text is a great source of quotation's e.g. 'behavioural magicians who pull habits out of rats' which I still use today as a lecturer, and would encourage anyone considering studying psychology to read this book first. Some books educate, this book inspires.
