David Myers has done something incredible: written a near perfect textbook that can be used both at the AP and university level. Obsessively up to date, and an occasional quip so you can have a laugh. The book is balanced with physiological explanations as well as some representative behavioral treatments. The text is now a standard for beginning level psychology.

I used an older edition of this text book when I was a sophomore in high school for my AP Psychology course. The text book was interesting, and was very consise and easy to read. My teachers weren't the best, but with this textbook I was able to score an easy 5 on the exam (I almost laughed during the exam because it seemed too easy).

The only bad thing I have to say about this textbook is that the binding isn't that strong. It would be great for a one use occassion, but because my school used these for a few years, it didn't take much to put all of the "Myers in Modules" books into pieces.

Overall, it's a great textbook, and I highly recommend it for anybody who is taking an introductory psychology course, the AP Psychology course, or anybody who is interested in psychology!

Excellent study guide. Explanations simplify text especially for student with no previous psychology background. Many exercises to help prepare for AP exam. Arrived quickly & in excellent condition. A+ on this transaction.

This is an awesome book! It was written in "plain english" for better understanding. Explains in detail psychological words or defenitions. Uses every day analogue and different contexts to describe somethings importance or meaning. Great Book! Also, Bolds or italicizes all important info!

My son needed this book for a class this semester. As everyone knows, textbooks are very expensive. But we were able to get this book, which was in GREAT condition, at an excellent price.

It is an informative book meant for an introductory psychology course, and it served me well as I got an A in the course. However, this book has a tendency to put a lot of effort into the biology aspect more so than the psychological aspects at time as my professor commented in lecture. If you're buying it for class, go right ahead, and if for a fun read then I suggest you buy a different book.

This book has a lot of detailed information that I need to write a paper. It was definitely worth ordering.

This book is the same a the etext (minus the quizes and sims) very helpful when you have online classes and want a physical book.

This textbook is written very well. It is one that I would and will probably read even without the class. The content is very interesting and it is very readable. I like the author--you can see his personality come out in the text. It has many pictures, fun quotes, and activities as well to make it even more interesting. Good quality text!

I used this book for a class. Overall, the book was very good for an introductory overview of the subject. I learned a lot and the book had just enough pictures and examples to break up the reading.
