5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to follow and understand, December 18, 2007
I thought this book was well written in a way that anyone could understand, but also challenged students to think critically and to not accept everything at face value, but to investigate and make their own opinions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for a textbook, March 5, 2009
For a textbook this one is actually not to bad. Unlike most texts the wording is not completely dry and the book is structured in a way that appeals to a variety of learning styles. I would recomend it to anyone that is looking to learn more about psychology.

I am a psychology professor and this is one of the books I reviewed. It is inaccurate in a number of places and fuzzy in others. The standard is not up to a college textbook. Read more
