This thoroughly updated edition is colourful, engaging, and packed with features that help students to understand and evaluate classic and contemporary Psychology.

All the major domains of Psychology are covered in detail across 50 manageable chapters that will help you get to grips with anything from the nervous system to memory, from attachment to personality, and everything in-between. A final section on issues and debates allows students to cast a critical eye on the research process, to explore the nature of Psychology as an evolving science, and understand some of the ethical issues faced by Psychologists.
- Brings contemporary Psychology alive with brand new double-page features which showcase contributions from Psychology's leading figures
- Packed with features: Introductions and Summaries, Ask Yourself Questions, Key Studies, Critical and Cross-Cultural material
- Improved coverage throughout of work from neuroscience, neuropsychology and evolutionary psychology
- Covers everything you need to know, in the depth in which you need to know it
- Explicitly links different areas of Psychology to help more able students get better grades.
New for this edition, Gross is supported by an extensive and interactive Dynamic Learning resource package. Just as Gross the book 'does everything', this comprehensive online resources package will help students to learn, and course leaders to deliver that learning. A free Dynamic Learning resources website supports students in revision, essay writing, and matching the book content to their course. A separately available set of multimedia-rich online resources can be tailored to the varied needs of course leaders.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Incredible,
By
This review is from: Psychology: The Science of Mind and Behaviour (Paperback)
The book is detailed and yet incredibly easy to read. The very attentive reader shall identify some dry humor in-between the lines that make the book all-the-more amusing. The subject is facinating and the books format inspires one to read it as if it were literature; furthermore, it is (to understate the matter) TOO easy to sift through this (incredibly large) book, and find exactly the information you were looking for.100% recommended

Why not available on Kindle?,
By Dr Belinda Brooks-Gordon (Birkbeck, University of London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Psychology: The Science of Mind and Behaviour (Paperback)
Why on earth is Gross not available on Kindle? Gross is one of the bestselling academic books. Core textbooks like this and, for example, Giddens on Sociology should be available electronically. I despair of the vast library of nonsense and self-help tripe you have available. C'mon Amazon and Kindle, get your act together for the enormous market in students and academics who don't want to carry around tomes but want the most highly regarded, up-to-date textbooks available electronically.

Useful, well written, and concise.,
By
This review is from: Psychology: The Science of Mind and Behaviour (Paperback)
Essential for any psychology student, this book offers an overview of all of the basics, in-depth information of the important bits . If your reading list for your course lists this book, I'd suggest buying a copy for yourself as it's likely to be in high demand at the university library.
