Motivation provides an overarching organizational scheme of how motivation (the inducement of action, feelings, and thought) leads to behavior from physiological, psychological, and environmental sources. Well-grounded in the history of the field, Motivation combines classic studies with current research, promoting the idea that motivation stems from physiological states, psychological motives, and environmental incentives and goals. The material draws on topics that are familiar to students while maintaining a conversational tone to sustain student interest.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Motivation: Biological, Psychological, and Environmental (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
This book is imformative. However, it needs to go more into detail...theories and what some philosophers believe that causes the person's different behavior and mood stages per-say. But it help in my class and doing my research on the internet helped as well (got an A)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Motivation: Biological, Psychological, and Environmental (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)
I got this as a college book required for a class and it turns out to be very well written, easily understood, and surprisingly easy to read. It covers all past and present theories of motivation and the final two chapters deal with emotions, because emotions are still difficult to explain even by professionals. Overall, a good buy.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Motivation: Biological, Psychological, and Environmental (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)
This text is quite well written, very easily read and applied.
The format is easy on the eyes and explanations of motivation are easily understood in the context of psychological, biological and environmental motivation.
