I bought this book for an introductory psychology class at Harvard, taught by one of the book's authors. The book does an excellent job of explaining pyschological concepts, detailing the progress of psychological science, and relating material to useful, real-world examples. It even keeps up an interesting, sometimes sarcastic sense of humor. Perhaps its best aspect is its organization: rather than fall into the trap of historical progression (William James believed... but Freud said... and Maslow theorized...) that ensnares many intro psychology books, this one is organized thematically and works exceptionally well. The history is still there, but it doesn't overshadow our present knowledge of psychology. Overall, excellent textbook.

This textbook is a great resource for the beginning Psychology learner. The book provides detailed examples and easy to read explanations of terms and concepts.

I am very happy i bought this book even if i was not taking the class i would read it.

This book is a great book. It is probably outdated by most classes now, but it has been very helpful to me to understand psychology. I am happy with the book.

The book was delivered promptly, and in the promised conditions. It is an interesting textbook that goes into GREAT detail on PSY 001 (UC course) topics.

The book I recieved in the mail looked brand new and was shipped to my home must faster than expected which was great!

Exactly as expected. I have not read the book as it was required for my daughters class. The book was in great shape and we saved some $ by buying on Amazon.

This is a great book, it came quickly and was in great condition for a great price! I will deffinatly be telling friends and family where to get textbooks for good deals! Can't wait until the next time I order!

The purchase was great. Decent price for an expensive book. Got it in by time promised. You better believe I will deal again!!! Even though the psychology class I am in sucks, the book is great!

Older piece of literature so its a little rough around the edges. No markings within however, just beginning to look old and out of date. I would expect a newer edition soon.
