[Carter · Rating 4 out of 5]

A nicely done book on the topic of social influence, deviance, defiance, and dissonance in groups. Covers all the major players in the classic literature such as Asch, Milgram, and Moscovici along with newer players such as Hornsey, Jetten, Postmes, Packer and others. A must have for any academic in this part of the social influence world.
