Intro psyc book that raises the bar,
This review is from: Psychology, Seventh Edition, in Modules (Hardcover)
I used this for an intro to psychology class. I quickly got interested in it and noticed how straight to the point everything is. After all was said and done, I think this has to be the psyc book everyone should own. I get to rent textbooks from the university, but this one I'm buying sometime soon... just now there's a new edition out (can't be too much different though... like 7 month gap between editions???). BTW, I'm a physics/EE major... junior.
This textbook is very clear and concise. It's brief, but very detailed... explains the experiments relating to each topic very well. There are so many side "comics," as someone said, which are pretty cool... they keep you thinking in the right direction, make it fun, and shows me that this book is very future-minded. The "comics" are definitely extra stuff, though, and I wouldn't judge it on them alone. I really enjoyed the class mainly because of this book. I was taking the same class but dropped it because I was in the hospital and missed weeks of class... so I did it the next semester and got to use this book (so happy I found this book). This book is way better than the other one (Psychology in Perspective by Tavris). So much better it makes me upset. I hope others find this one enjoyable. If using a "lame" textbook for a psyc class and feel it's disorganized or some things are missing... check this one out.
