Dynamical Cognitive Science (Bradford Books)
Ward has given us a comprehensive personal perspective on the emerging relations between dynamical theory and cognitive psychology. The subject is evolving and changing so rapidly that it can slip through our fingers even as we look at it. His work can help the reader stop and draw breath, before joining the chase to gain a deeper understanding. He addresses many of the major issues, and indicates problems that others have addressed or are now addressing. Contrasts are made with traditional more static theoretical stances in psychology. His book should serve as a useful introductory text to the proliferating journal articles which now are taking methodology and results further, to resolve the problems he delineates.(Robert A. M. Gregson, Emeritus Professor, Australian National University)
