Product Description
Product Description
Psychology: The Science of Behaviour, European Adaptation is the first truly "European" introductory textbook on the subject to be accompanied by a robust teaching and learning support package. Developed from the highly regarded US text by Neil R Carlson and William Buskist, this adaptation has been thoroughly restructured and has much new content to meet the needs of a European audience while retaining its comprehensive and rigorous coverage of the key elements of psychology.
Throughout the text, Psychology is treated as a dynamic, fascinating experimental and natural science. The book emphasises how the various subdisciplines are interrelated and presents research applications as well as the research itself. Students are asked throughout to employ the discovery method and to participate in the research process, learning and applying scientific method. In this way, they are better able to visualise and appreciate what the work and study of psychology is really like.

Most university reading lists are miles long and want you to buy your life away in a bid to gain SOME understanding of the subjects. This book however meanas that you can gain a huge understanding AND still have some life left at the end of it.
Clearly set out, it has everything in it to cover basic psychology. Its in-depth coverage of studies only breifly mentioned in lectures, along with its interesting pictures and pages that actually make you want to read them means that even if you are a novice like me you can feel your feet in the subject.
In short, this book isnt just a recommended option for university psychology, it is a must.

I found this book very good for an introduction to psychology as a first year module. Covers most of the areas in psychology in at the right sort of depth for a one-off module, but too generalised for a psychology degree. Good buy.
