Reading: Skinner 1 & 2

I'm not a fan of Slater's writing. The topic of the book is Skinner, which is a great subject, but her introduction seems way over dramatized. Skinner was a behavioral psychologist that expanded upon Pavlov's theories of classical conditioning with a new theory - operant conditioning. Operant conditioning changed the way psychologists thought and led psychology toward becoming a more respectable field, one of science instead of philosophy. Slater's portrayal of the facts is accurate(-ish) but her anecdotal additions damage her credibility and the readability of the book.
