Welcome to the Cambridge Center's
Reviews of Books!
One of the goals the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies has set for this web site is to inform a broad audience about what Behavior Analysis has to offer. To support that effort, we will offer reviews of current or important books, texts and journal articles that may be of interest to the behavior analytic community and the culture at large which it serves.

Editorial Policy
We solicit reviews which reflect the behavioral perspective. They may cover books that are also written from the behavioral point of view, or they may present alternative accounts to books written from another point of view.
To accomplish this, authors should limit their comments to no longer than 2,000 words and no more then 10 references. Reviews of articles should be concise and represent concerns that are important to the entire behavioral community.
In addition, we are interested in brief descriptions (1 to 4 sentences) of books published more than two or three years ago, which are important to the general public, a portion of the public, or the behavior analytic profession.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to accept, accept with revisions, or reject for publication any review, following an editorial evaluation.
All reviews and brief descriptions should be sent to:
