'The attitude concept is at the core of social psychology. This innovative publication provides the most comprehensive collection ever assembled of classic and contemporary papers on the psychology of attitudes and attitude change. The editors have done a superb job of providing a thorough overview of this exciting field' - Mark Zanna, University of Waterloo
