Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Designed for non-majors and majors alike, this lively, highly interactive introduction to psychology provides a broad exploration of classic and contemporary research on current and emerging topics in all areas of the field and provides an abundance of opportunities for students to see first hand how psychological concepts apply to a wide range of real-life, everyday situations. It offers strong treatment of the "how's" and "why's" of research methods, with frequent examination throughout the book of the validity of conclusions drawn from research. Also discusses important topics within historical context -- e.g., the discovery and function of neurons, the development of phobias, and the concept of stress. An exceptionally strong supplements package including several interactive, multimedia resources ensures student's total immersion in the material.

Psych info made easy.,
By "irish489" (San Bruno, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Psychology (Hardcover)
This book was a good introducion to the field of psychology. It was a great help to me during my general psychology course. Aside from presenting its information in a clear and easly understandable way, the text is well organized and full of study aids. The chapters are helpfully subdivided and each segment provides a synopsis and a "study break" self quiz so you can test yourself and see how much of the material you have asimilated. Margin definitions and summeries of all the important terms and concepts are presented adjacent to the full explanations of the material. The graphs and illustrations in each chapter are very informative and useful in explaining the concepts and experiments presented. Overall this is a good book for anyone who wants a genral overview of psychology.
