Annual Review of Psychology 18. [antikvár]

For a number of years the managing editor of the Annual Reviews, Inc. and the members of its Board of Directors have been aware of the increasing use of reprints in colleges and universities and, from time to time, have been asked by teachers and publishers that there be somé arrangement whereby Annual Review reprints could be made more readily available. Late in the spring of 1966 such a plan was set up on a trial basis. For the time being, an inventory will be maintained of reprints of all articles published in Volumes 12 through 18 (1961 through 1967) of the Annual Review of Psychology. The cost will be $.95 per reprint. If the experiment demonstrates a definite need for such a service, reprints of articles published in later volumes of the Annual Review of Psychology and its sister Reviews will be made available to the public. A similar plan is under way for the Annual Review of Biochemistry. The attention of psychologists sbould be called to the forthcoming publication of the Annual Review of Genetics, whose Volume 1 is scheduled for appearance in October of 1967. This newest member of the Annual Review family becomes the thirteenth of the series. In November of 1965 Annual Reviews, Inc. published under the title, The Excitement and Fascination of Science, a volume of prefatory chapters reprinted from the Annual Reviews of Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Physicál Chemistry, and Physiology. The careers of a number of the historical personages here treated, particularly of those in the area of physiology, should be of considerable interest to the more biologically and historically minded psychologists. The chapter on "Motor Skills," scheduled for this volume, has been postponed until Volume 19. The section on "Personality" is considerably longer than has been customary, in part because it covers a two-year time span. No new chapter headings appear in Volume 18, but Volume 19 will contain reviews covering "Mathematical Models of Learning," "Verbal Learning and Memory," "Computer Simulation," and "Derived Motives." Volume 19 will alsó have a chapter on "Psychology and Culture." A chapter with this same title had been scheduled for Volume 14, but did not appear. Quinn and Olga McNemar, who have given devoted service to the Annual Review of Psychology, feel that they can no longer continue as its associate editors. The Board of Directors of the Annual Reviews, Inc., the members of the Editorial Committee, and the editor, particularly, regret deeply (but understand) their decision. Quinn McNemar, the second in time order of the Review's three associate editors, began his services with the editing of Volume 5 (published in 1954) with the late Calvin P. Stone. By that time he was already a chapter author with his "Statistical Theory and Research Design" published in Volume 3. Olga McNemar started her services with the editing of Volume 12 (published in 1961). She had been in the group of chapter writers for Volume 6 as co-author of "Problem
