Psychology

I received the study guide, not the textbook. I believe the description is misleading.

This book is great. I expected, yet another textbook that is dull and difficult to read and understand; this textbook, however, is filled with humorous interjections, along with complex information presented in a simple way.

My purchased product was received very quickly and in excellent condition. I would definitely recommend this seller for business.

I've used the text for my honors section of Psych 101 and as a source for lecture material in my other sections. IMHO, this the the best textbook for Intro Psych that I have ever come across in terms of the depth of material presented. It is, however, probably too difficult for the large lecture hall sections or sections taught entirely by graduate students. For these sections I would recommend David Myers' textbook. Much more student-friendly, and still an excellent source of information. Fridlund, et al., is still the gold standard.

This introduction text represents a "tour de force" in dealing with a complex subject. Psychology is divided into 5 sections dealing with Action, Cognition, Social Behavior, Development, and Individual Differences. Each chapter contains the biological basis at work, because, as the authors so beautifully put it "we aren't just minds; we are minds embodied."This book is for the serious student; the dabbler, and those whose understanding of psychology is limited to pop psych-type self-help, psycho-babble will be bored. An outstanding, scholarly work worthy of reading.

This book gives you a great overview at the field of psychology. Psychology is a diverse studie and this book takes you to all of the great topics of psychology. The best book if you want to know more about psychology or take courses in it. Take it from me, I have a university degree in psychology.
