In the past thirty years, face perception has become an area of major interest within psychology, with a rapidly expanding research base. The Oxford Handbook of Face Perception is the most comprehensive and commanding review of the field ever published. It looks at the functional and neural mechanisms underlying the perception, representation, and interpretation of facial characteristics, such as identity, expression, eye gaze, attractiveness, personality, andrace. It examines the development of these processes, their neural correlates in both human and non-human primates, congenital and acquired disorders resulting from their breakdown, and the theoretical and computational frameworks for their underlying mechanisms. For anyone looking for thedefinitive review of this burgeoning field, the Oxford Handbook of Face Perception is the essential book.
