The book arrived promptly and in stated condition. I would buy from this seller again.

Detectives in counseling

Book was in condition as advertized and arrived quickly. The title makes one wish to delve into it thinking it is a mystery. The mind truly is a mystery and the book was interesting keeping your attention with much informative material that can be used in the future.

Great text for undergraduates

"The Psychologist as Detective" is a great book for any undergraduate research methods class. The authors include several real-life examples to illustrate the material presented. The text itself is wonderfully written. Everything is very clear, but also very concise. Along with the examples (which are well used and helpful), the authors keep the subject readable by including a few witty remarks and observations. The text ranges from the simple steps of the scientific method to the construction of factorial designs and three-way ANOVAs. All of it is broken down to be accessible and interesting enough to keep a student's attention. What's left is a simple, easy to understand guide on how the experimental method works in psychology.
