Best about detailing
The details given in book are the best. People from all over the world coming together on one topic is major thing back then.

Informative
I read a lot and listen to Philosophy oriented media such as History of Philosophy Without any Gaps, and History of Africana and India Philosophy. The Order of Time and Johnathan Haidt three books all gave me a insight and interest. This book expanded on things included in those books and well worth it.

Not what it claims to be
WIth a huge emphasis on the history of psychology, the average reader can get totally lost. First, loads of information about a theory, then a vague hint that, well, this isn't actually true. Take the chapter on Biological Psychology: 20 pages of its history (and basically where they all got it wrong) followed by 3 pages about modern understanding of the brain (which in reality is most of our understanding). So despite the author continually repeating "impossible to cover such a huge subject in one book" almost in every chapter, there a huge chunks of the book actually about mistaken theory of our past psychologists and so useless to most, if not downright confusing. This is littered with seemingly helpful diagrams, which are not referred to, whole page pictures of ancient psychologists and actually very little useful information. A degree in a book, no. A pretty overview of the history of the subject of psychology, not Psychology itself, yes. A shabby publication.

Skada
Boken i sig är bra men den levererades både skadad och med en lång papremsa klistrad på framsidan!!
