Myers in Modules is available (saleable) in two different versions:
- A sturdier spiralbound with a cloth front and back cover.
- A hardcover, traditionally-bound text.
From his experience as both an author and teacher, David Myers has concluded that students digest material more easily when it is presented in smaller chunks. As students whether they would prefer a 700-page book to be organized as 14 50-page chapters or as 50 14-page chapters and their answers will approach a consensus: They prefer shorter chapters.
Acting upon this belief, Myers has created a modular version of his bestselling introductory text, Psychology. Myers in Modules breaks down the 18 chapters of Psychology, Sixth Edition into 55 short chapters, or modules. Featuring the latest research and teaching innovations, Myers's new text reflects the author's continuing drive to discover the most effective way to communicate psychology's major ideas to an uninitiated audience.

This review is from: Psychology, Sixth Edition in Modules (Spiral-bound)

I used this textbook for a 101- class course, and my experience was excellent. I had to read the entire book in less than five weeks for my course, and reading was a pleasure. It is easy to read, easy to understand, informative and fresh, and even has little jokes here and there for the reader's pleasure. Literally the best textbook I've ever used.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good content, bad binding, September 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Psychology, Sixth Edition in Modules (Spiral-bound)

The spiral binding is a big mistake! For a passionate book lover like me, it is pain to see the pages get crumpled so quick!
The modularized content is nice.
