In reading this novel entitled The Essential World of Psychology, I was pleased to find such a rich written work in its particular area of study. The author, Samuel E. Wood, has done an extraordinary job in portraying the fundamental elements of psychological study. He uses his knowledge of the field to demonstrate a true understanding and an effective teaching method to be taught to beginners and professionals alike. He covers definitional psychology and psychology on a personal level to create the perfect blend of teaching material. I was pleased to have read this book, specifically because it was used as the guidelines for my psychology class at the university I attend. This book is undoubtedly more than appropriate to be used to teach all college-level psychology courses.

This is a decent psychology text book. The information is presented clearly. The chapter starts with a quick story about the information, then info is presented clearly, then a review, then study guide and practice test. Overall an excellent book.

The only problem is there are a series of practice test included in the back of the book and they would be very very helpful, but the answers are sold in a workbook that must be purchased separately.

I ordered a new book from this seller, it came and I inquired as to why the receipt I received was for a used book, I got a reply stating that this was a typo. Once I began using the book however, I saw highlighter and writing in it: not excessive, but it was there. My problem is that you can't advertise a used book as new, 'like' new isn't new!! I am especially upset that I paid the price of a new book when even the receipt said it was used and should have been about $30 less expensive!

THE BOOK WAS GOOD, I PASSED BECAUSE OF WHAT I LEARNED IN THE CLASS.

I PURCHASE THE BOOK FROM AMAZON AND GOT IT WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS OF MY ORDERING

This is a great book not only for psychology but also for human developmment. It's clear, modern & has key terms. A must have!

This was the required book for an intro psychology class I took in college. It was a terrible book because it only touches broadly on each subject. The explanations are so broad that there is almost no point in reading them. Even for an introduction class, I was not satisfied. I ended up using a different book entirely, just to understand the real significance of simple concepts.

I am completely satisfied with the product I received. It showed up just in a nick of time. I am greatful that I was able to save money by buying the product used and in good condition. Thank you for your service and I will recommend others to use your services in the future.


Thanks a ton,

Book came within reasonable timing, book had a abnormal amount of highlighting/ writing inside it; however, still a good buy Thanks.

This was an instructor book in which I did not know when I ordered it. The words "instructor manual" was taped over. I was still able to use the book for my course, however, I would have liked to have known this before I purchased it.

Thanks a bunch! I got this book for less than a dollar when the third edition would have cost me over $100. It's the same book but the page numbering is a little different than the latter edition. I currently have a A in psych. Thanks again. Quick delivery.
