The Man Who Shocked The World by Thomas Blass
Stanley Milgram was one of the most innovative scientists of our time. Creator of the famous Obedience Experiments carried out at Yale in the early 1960s, and originator of the 'six degrees of separation' theory, Milgram continues to be an intriguing figure in psychology and beyond. This is a biography of Milgram.
BBC Focus magazine "Milgram's notorious study forms the centrepiece of this outstanding biography - and rightly so, given its continued importance in understanding such horrors as the torture of Iraqi prisoners at Abu GhraibBut as author Thomas Blass makes clear, Milgram pioneered other major areas of research, including the famous 'Small World' effect...Blass does a fine job of weaving together Milgram's life and science, revealing a portrait of a genius who, ironically enough, had real problems with authority."
Thomas Blass, Ph.D., is Professor of Psychology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. He lives in Baltimore, Maryland. www.stanleymilgram.com
