Irvin Rock, Irvin Rock - DECEASED
"...a major contribution to responsible scholarship, not only an idiosyncratic gift to an influential theorist, keen observer of the human condition, ingenious experimenter, and inspiring teacher by some of many colleagues whose lives have been enriched by their contact with Asch and his thought. This fine Festschrift enticingly invites the reader to participate in serious thinking about the rich and diverse legacy."
