He was also the initiator and president of the Heroic Imagination Project.

Reviews

This was our official textbook for AP Psychology, which was a fun class with a fine teacher and a solidly reliable textbook. The authors wrote this in a conversational style and seemed more interested in informing rather than lecturing to students.
