Fun and Easy Read

I have enjoyed looking through this book. I'm glad I added it to my order.

Good value for money!

This book provides a lively introduction to psychology with practical examples. It is very informative and good value for money. Different areas of basic psychology are covered. There are also many interesting topics such as: 1) the study of the mind (emotion, motivation, learning,language, memory, thinking); and 2) the study of sensation and perception (how information about the world is delivered to the nervous system and interpreted to form a coherent picture).
