But they are grumbling no more, for the book has been continuously in print ever since. The reason for this longevity is, of course, that what the book lacks in glossy photographs, tables, graphs, optical illusions, and personality inventories, it more than makes up for in its elegance, parsimony, and scope. The small family of behavioral principles that have emerged from the animal laboratory play a fundamental role in all behavior. They are natural selection’s powerful solution to the problem of shaping adaptive behavior in mobile organisms in unpredictable environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThis Extended Edition features a foreword by Dr. Vincent J. Carbone, which is both a retrospective appreciation and a contemporary evaluation of the book. Also added is a moving reminiscence and appraisal of the book by Skinner’s closest friend and colleague, Dr. Fred S. Keller. The students of behavior analysis will appreciate a functionally improved and expanded index created by Dr. David C. Palmer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Association for Behavior Analysis International - Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50730463363212,"sku":"9780996453967","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/6372\/8524\/files\/ScienceandHumanBehavior.jpg?v=1781547263","url":"https:\/\/shopabai.org\/products\/science-and-human-behavior-extended-edition-hard-cover","provider":"Association for Behavior Analysis International - Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
