Review
The present volume is a major enterprise, into which much work, and much information has been poured. (The Psychology of Education Review (about the first edition) )
It is ahead of it's time scholastically - state of the art research; colour coding helps retain critical information. This will be the leading introduction for British undergraduates in psychology for the next few decades. (Dr A Cassidy, Belfast Institute of Further & Higher Education (about the first edition) )

This text is a complete education in psychological science from a contemporary critical perspective, provocative and engages the reader to think critically about the application of psychological principles in everyday human behaviour and social interaction.
(Dr A Cassidy, Belfast Institute of Further & Higher Education (about the first edition) )"..Like the layout of the book...easy to find what you are looking for...easy to read."

Format:Paperback
This book is essential for first year undergrads studying any kind of psychology course. The easy to understand text and diagrams are fun and informative, and at a level that requires no prior knowledge of psychology. Each chapter also gives a list of further suggested reading at the end, which is helpful when undertaking research. Must read!

Format:Paperback
I purchased this book prior to undertaking an 'Introduction to Psychology' course with the Open University with the intention of simply getting a 'heads up' before the course began. Like other commenters have mentioned, it does appear to utilise quite simple language at times and I must admit that whilst reading it for the first time I did feel that my intelligence was being insulted.
Having said that however, I found this book to be worth it's weight in gold! Why? For the many, many times during the course where I felt I wasn't quite 'getting it' only to turn to this book and have the exact concepts and ideas explained in simple, easy to understand terms. As a textbook in it's own right it may be lacking but as a reference guide (OK, idiots guide if you like!) I found it invaluable. It certainly helped me pass the course, and I would recommend it to anyone undertaking OU or any other 'distance-learning' type Psychology studies.

This is a fantastic book; a must-have for any psychology student at University. All information is presented clearly and is relevant to what is taught in psychology today. A truly useful and helpful book. I highly recommend it.

it's all here, but...
This text book does indeed have it all for the BPS accreditation seeking student, but is it just me or is it a little patronising? At times I feel like I'm reading a GCSE textbook. Read more
