5.0 out of 5 stars One of the great psychology books of the century., July 13, 1999
By A Customer
From one of the best psychologists of the century comes one of the best texts on psychology of the century. Beautifully written in an entertaining style, this book will change how you view the social world around you. A must on any psychology major's shelf, or anyone else interested in social psychology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic and wonderful entry to social psychology, December 9, 1999
By M. (California, USA) - See all my reviews
I read this book for the first time in 1987. The years have passed but still Roger Brown's observations and description provides a brilliant and wonderful reading for both academics and the lay reader. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in learining about social psychology.
