First Prescribed Textbook
The first prescribed textbook for the course is:
Buller, D.J. (2005). Adapting Minds: Evolutionary Psychology and the Persistent Quest for Human Nature. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press.
The easiest (and instant, if you have access to a credit card) way to get the book is in Kindle edition from Amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Adapting-Minds-Evolutionary-Psychology-ebook/dp/B002QXMFLG/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1371109466&sr=1-1&keywords=adapting+minds
At a current price of $17.33 (and exchange rate around R10.10/$), that works out less than R200 for a 500+ page book.
You don't need a Kindle to buy or read Kindle editions - there are free Kindle apps available for just about every electronic interface - tablets, smartphones, Blackberrys, PCs, Macs. (You might not be able to use a rival e-book reader, however. I haven't bumped into an e-pub/PDF edition, but there may be one out there.)
Tree-book editions are available. The best price I can find at the moment is Takealot.com @ R259 (with free delivery). But just note that it might take up to 20 days to arrive:
http://www.takealot.com/books/society-politics-philosophy-5539/adapting-minds,9780262524605
You will need access to this text by the first week of term at the latest (i.e. 15 July).
Let me know if you have any queries or difficulties.
Regards
Michael P.
