Frazier, the community challenges conventional ideas about family, politics, religion, and, above all, human freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBurrhus Frederic Skinner (1904-1990) was an American psychologist, social philosopher, and inventor, and one of the most influential and controversial figures in 20th-century psychology. He is considered the father of radical behaviorism, a school of thought that argues that behavior (including thoughts and feelings) can be explained by an individual's history of rewards and punishments. His theories on operant conditioning (the \"Skinner Box\") revolutionized psychology and had a profound impact on education, therapy, and philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Skinner, Burrhus F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Martinez Roca\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdition: \u003c\/b\u003e2005\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788427031647\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Martinez Roca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55195090288966,"sku":"Est4\/Bal4\/Arnoia","price":14.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/5590\/3302\/files\/WaldenDosA.webp?v=1762275221","url":"https:\/\/libreriacasadrojan.com\/en\/products\/walden-dos-tentaculo","provider":"Librería Casa Drojan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
