Psychology (7th Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Interactive and Interesting
Review: I found this text to be a very interactive one, keeping students attention by involving them in the learning process. While it may be simplified in some areas, it is a first year text and does cover the topics clearly and coherently.

As far as first year texts go, I found this to be a useful and interesting one.

Summary: moderate
Review: psychology is not a real science, and this is not a real textbook. Actually almost all of the pages in this book are devoted to finding out what psychology is. How can you learn any thing from a book which author don't know what psychology is?

May be i'm wrong or prejudiced, but psychology is not a science, and i don't like it.

if you're searching for a text and learning psychology because you have to, then i think Kalat's text is better.

Summary: it was excellent
Review: this book was very straight forward. it was clear and easy for students to grasp. As a professor, I was shocked at the rate my students were reading the material. I am very pleased by the book's explanation of key issues in modern psychology. It should be part of every professor's book collection and for pure enjoyment.

Summary: Not that great
Review: This was the book my school chose as it's General Psychology book. It wasn't very good. In fact, I strongly disliked it. It simplified some problems, while completely ignoring others. It did have some good points, but the majority of the book was skewed to match the thoughts and beliefs of the writers. Very .... book!
