Required reading to understand what's going on with people. Forget about the pop-psycho-babblers, read what science knows about people. Very enjoyable and fun reading.

This is a terrific textbook. It offers many points of view and summarizes succinctly at the end of each chapter. I like the sidebars with definitions highlighted, and the jokes really bring some of the points home. The 'glaze-over' factor is kept to a minimum by the clear writing style.

Book arrived on time. As the description pointed out, there were some highlights within the book and it was gently used. However, it was still legible and sturdy and I was able to use it for my course. I would recommend this seller!
