THINK Psychology

 

THINK Psychology covers the essentials every introductory psychology student should know. The chapters are briefer than a standard introductory text—allowing for a lower cost to students and using less printed paper. Unlike other brief texts, THINK Psychology includes 18 chapters of content—giving instructors the flexibility to choose what they want to cover without the worry that skipping several chapters will mean leaving out hundreds of pages of content.

 

THINK Psychology provides currency and relevance through design, current examples and high-interest readings. The readings have been chosen from a range of well respected journals and popular press publications. With the concise presentation of material in the chapters, instructors have the option of incorporating these readings and helping students connect to issues occurring outside of the classroom.

 

An engaging visual design developed with the benefit of extensive student feedback will appeal to students and deliver the key concepts of Psychology in a way they can understand.

 

The groundbreaking instructor supplements package will help bring the key concepts of Psychology to life, without burdening students with dense and too expensive learning solutions. 

 

Thinkspot, the text’s open access website, provides students with a large resource of tools to help them achieve a better grade.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Thinking, October 18, 2011
Regardless about how one feels about the "politics" of this book, this is a great text by virtue of how each page presents more correct and usable information than most of the contemporary textbooks currently on the market. And for the money it's a fantastic buy! The graphics/pictures are excellent in their vibrancy and detail. The up-to-date research has to put smiles and wonderment on instructors and students respectively. The "upclose and personal" chapter introductions make the course content real and contemporary, e.g., Megan Meier & the Close sisters. I really dig the timeline fold out in the back. For an introduction/general course Ms. Baird's text is a model/standard to be studied by students, instructors, and authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars THINK Psychology, February 13, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: THINK Psychology (Paperback)
I saved around $15 by purchasing this book from Amazon instead of the campus book store. After receiving the book I was informed by the class instructor I would need an access code for THINK Psychology, which was provided with the book if purchased through the campus book store. I contacted the instructor, the campus book store, the publisher and Amazon for over a week, even though they all responded, Amazon was the only one that tried to find a solution to the problem. I am happy to report that Amazon did not give up on their search until I was satisfied. Amazon provided a solution and I am very satisfied with the service I received from Amazon.
