Format:Paperback
This book is brilliant, Im new to Psychology and the first book I bought was this one. It has very clear ideas and is easy to use and is a great guide for undergraduates. The language is of medium level so its not so difficult to understand. During assignments, presentations, its a good refernce good guide.

Format:Paperback
This is a phenomenal book. It's clearly written and includes amazing detail on a wide range of topics. If you're going to buy one textbook for any Higher Education Psychology course, this is the one to choose. Lots of universities recommend American based textbooks for their courses but this one is far more detailed and the best I've come across.

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book written by one of the chief examiners for A level psychology. The text is clearly written and covers a wide area. Although perhaps not bedside reading, it is very understandable and covers the field in considerable depth. It is an ideal textbook. It is sufficiently readable that you dont fall asleep, but contains sufficient detail that is serves as a reference book as well. Highly recommended.

Good for introducing diversity into A level lessons.
