He began his college work studying philosophy at Ole Miss, and finished with a PhD in psychology at the University of Tennessee. Although he has had many data-based publications (and been part of numerous Federal grants) in cognitive psychology, his real passion has always been the history of philosophy and psychology. Tracy spent the first half of his academic career (1990–2003) at Mississippi State University, then moved in 2003 to Texas A & M – Commerce where he remains today. At A & M – Commerce, Tracy has served as Department Head and in other administrative roles. Beyond psychology, Tracy is known for his cooking and his “home brew” variations of many classic board and card games. His wife Lani is also an academic, and his son Robert aspires to be the world’s next great screen writer. Tracy Branson Henley About the Original Author Baldwin Ross “Bud” Hergenhahn (1934–2007) lived a col- orful life that many students might be surprised by. He was not just an impressive scholar (who preferred writing longhand to using a computer) but also a soldier (in the Korean war), an outdoorsman (who as a graduate student lived for a while in a tepee), a family man (with seven children), a man who enjoyed sports and games (and was a good golfer), and above all a person who was a fiercely independent freethinker. Bud was born in Chicago in 1934. He served in the military and worked as a forest ranger at Mount Saint Helens before start- ing college. His undergraduate degree was completed at Western Washington University and his graduate training at the University of Arizona. He completed his dissertation in experimental psychology in 1966 and began his academic career at Hamline University in Minnesota immediately thereafter. Psychology was always one of his principal passions, and he owned no books that were unrelated to the topic. That said, his specific focus shifted over time. Initially, Bud was a hard-nosed experimentalist with a behavioral approach to learning and child development. During the 1970s, he B. R.
