"The first major biography of America's preeminent psychologist (B. F. Skinner), this book is a riveting portrait of a controversial "social inventor" and entrepreneur whose ideas transformed education, child rearing, and even community life. This book not only traces his life and work through all its controversy and complexity but also places his contribution firmly within the American tradition of utopian and social-political debate. Daniel W. Bjork explores how the conflict between Skinner's turn-of-the-century small-town upbringing and his avant-garde, intellectual education shaped his science and his ideas about its application. Based on intensive interviews with Skinner and his family, a thorough examination of the Skinner collection in the Harvard archives, and access to thousands of personal notes Skinner wrote to himself between 1950 and 1990, this fascinating biography is an important contribution to the history of science.

"The first major biography of America's preeminent psychologist, this book is a riveting portrait of a controversial "social inventor" and entrepreneur whose ideas transformed education, child rearing, and even community life. Hailed as a profound thinker by his legions of followers and vilified by others as a cold manipulator of humanity, B.F. Skinner left a permanent mark on the science of psychology."
