4.0 out of 5 stars Psychology In It's Purest Form, June 7, 2000
By A Customer
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Psychology Textbook Review, November 5, 2006
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mastering the World of Psychology (2nd Edition) (MyPsychLab Series) (Paperback)
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars I paid the new price for a used book!, January 12, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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!

2.0 out of 5 stars Useless unless you are in junior high, May 15, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mastering the World of Psychology, June 12, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.

This review is from: Mastering the World of Psychology (2nd Edition) (MyPsychLab Series) (Paperback)
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.
