Product Description
Review
The original and best. Still the first point of reference for most psychology teachers. This book really has stood the test of time, I still treasure my first edition that I used at University. However, the book is firmly up to date, and now contains interesting and relevant graphics and illustrations. A really well written and well structured introductory text, suitable for all Psychology specifications. I always recommend this book to new psychology teachers and students.
(Deb Gajic, Chair of the ATP )Product Description

Brilliant,
By
This review is from: Psychology: The Science of Mind and Behaviour (Hodder Arnold Publication) (Paperback)
This is a truly marvellous book. The CD that comes with it is a fantastic learning aid. As a teacher of psychology it is a fabulous resource and one which has been recommended to my students. If you are looking for a psychology book to fill an amateur desire to learn a little bit more then I would not say this is for you, however, if your looking for depth and insight it is excellent. Accompanies Eysenck's Psychology for AS brilliantly. Get on it!

The Foremost Psychology Overview Textbook,
By
This review is from: Psychology: The Science of Mind and Behaviour (Hodder Arnold Publication) (Paperback)
With bulky introductions to all the main areas of psychology - social, cognitive, clinical, etc, this book presents both lots of detail and lots of scope. It made me interested in areas of psychology I hadn't previously thought much of. R. Gross excels at presenting psychology theories, studies and information in a clear way, even when explaining conflicting opinions.
This is an awesome book for anyone interested in not only psychology (as a textbook/bible), but also in humanity in general.
