Customer Reviews

Good condition

Book is in good condition. Did take awhile to receive but I would suggest to order at least a week ahead of time

I'm extremely happy with this product

I had the choice to buy this textbook new at my school library or buy it used online. New, it was $112. I bought this book that said that it was in like new condition for for less than half the price. I was skeptical about it, but the book seemed to have NEVER been used and it was shipped in a very short time. I am very pleased with this order.

shipping review

I ordered this book on a thursday, and by saturday it was shipped to my house, so it was pretty fast ;]

Student review.

This textbook does a pretty good job of making the information clear. The writer does a fairly decent job of keeping a motivated student's attention. The only issue is that the tone the author takes is at time too smarmy. He also alludes way too frequently to his family for comfort... I feel like I know his kids, and that kind of creeps me out. Either way, when paired with good lectures, the material is pretty easy to follow.

Psychology Textbook

This textbook was much better than I expected. It is very well laid out, and full of relevant important psychology information. As an introductory text it is exceptional. It is engaging and readable, and makes learning less tedious. The topics covered are not only interesting to Psychology majors, but important for everyone. Not only does the author touch on the history of pyschology and the important people in psychology, it also has psychology information and research that is up-to-date and applicable to modern day living.
