Yes, really. I was surprised to receive it so early.

Brian Haig @brianhaig.bsky.social · Feb 20

Well, I'm excited too! I received a copy of your book in the mail today, and I'm greatly looking forward to reading it. 🙂

Thank you, Lorne. I do remember your visit here as an Erskine Fellow under Garth's sponsorship, and attending a talk of yours on close relationships.

Greetings, Lorne. I too have benefited from Bruno's kindness and intellectual generosity (most recently on a paper of mine on construct validity). I've never met him in person, but we have corresponded over the years. We were both students of Bill Rozeboom at the University of Alberta.

I too was impressed by Smith's book -- as was Skinner himself, who reviewed it positively.

Thanks for your interest, Uljana. For some reason I couldn't get the link to my article to take on my work computer. I'll send you a pdf of my article via email. There, I say some things about interpreting some of Skinner's work as a global theory. Here's the link, now. doi.org/10.1080/1047...
