'Personality traits and value orientations have been studied in separation. Ronald Fischer overcomes this separation and demonstrates convincingly how much these two strands of scholarship can learn from each other. He synthesizes a vast multi-disciplinary literature in a most competent way. This book is a new classic in cross-cultural psychology.' Christian Welzel, Leuphana Universitat Luneburg, Germany 'Ronald Fischer, a giant in the field of cross-cultural psychology, has produced an intellectual masterpiece. Drawing on fields as diverse as genetics, neuroscience, psychology, and evolutionary biology, he provides a marvelous integration of research on personality, values and culture, tackling age-old questions and identifying new frontiers along the way. This book is a must for anyone interested in understanding human behavior.' Michele J. Gelfand, University of Maryland 'This is a rich and erudite work that covers key concepts in the history of psychological thought and supports the author's arguments regarding a model of gene-culture coevolution. Psychologists, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates interested in personality, culture, and evolutionary psychology will want to read this book.' D. S.
