[Face-research-list] New book on face perception

Hello everyone, Happy new year! Hard times lead me to kick off the new year with a bit of shameful self-promotion of a new book that may be of interest to some of you: Bruce, V. and Young, A. Face perception. Hove: Psychology Press, 2012, 496 pages, ISBN 978-1-84169-878-6. Further details and a sample chapter are available via the publisher's web site: http://www.cognitivepsychologyarena.com/face-perception-9781841698786 It can be ordered via the publisher or on Amazon. We originally intended this as an update of our previous book (Bruce and Young, 1998, In the eye of the beholder, OUP), but the literature has moved on so much that in the end we were only able to retain a chunk of chapter 1 and some other bits and pieces - the rest is mostly new. We have tried to take a broad perspective on face perception and range fairly widely in terms of sources of evidence. However, there is now such a wealth of studies that many had to be left out. I can only apologise to those whose work may not have received the amount of coverage it deserved. A number of difficult choices had to be made. Cheers, Andy Young.
