For social primates like us, faces may be the most biologically significant stimuli we view. Faces provide information not only about identity but also about mood, age, sex, and direction of overt attention. Does our ability to extract this information from faces rely on special-purpose cognitive and neural mechanisms distinct from those involved in the perception of other classes of visual stimuli? If so, how do those mechanisms work? Do these mechanisms arise from experience alone, or is there an innate predisposition to create them? How is face recognition affected by development and aging?

The Cambridge Handbook of Consciousness is the first of its kind in the field, and its appearance marks a unique time in the history of intellectual inquiry on the topic. After decades during which consciousness was considered beyond the scope of legitimate scientific investigation, consciousness re-emerged as a popular focus of research towards the end of the last century, and it has remained so for nearly 20 years. There are now so many different lines of investigation on consciousness that the time has come when the field may finally benefit from a book that pulls them together and, by juxt

These studies represent a stocktaking at the end of the 20th century of "the unity we have" and a reassessment of "the unity we seek". It provides a well-documented overview of the field: a thorough and accessible introduction for everyone with an interest in ecumenism and a resource for everyone involved at any level. A substantial section charts some of the major ecumenical developments of the 20th century and some of the new problems that have emerged. The goal of "visible unity" remains unchanged - but what sort of visible unity and how should we move towards it?
