Format:Paperback
I bought this book as The book for a Uni course on psychology and I was pleasantly surprised. Not only is the book written in a very accessible way, its layout is also done with easy reference and quick learning in mind. Not quick as in a thin book as this book is 1000 pages thick (sigh...) but quick as in e.g. factfiles and summaries. The chapters themselves are also grouped in a logical and accessible way and also include case studies of different kinds, which keeps the interest alive and prevents the book from becoming dry and just theoretical. Also, being North American in its origin, it has been 'Europified' to be relevant to students in Europe and one of the European authors is Andy Bremner. Brother of Rory? Gives the book yet an interesting slant... ;-)

A very clear, well designed degree level book! So far, this book has been easy to read and digest all of the information. It's worth the money so if your studying Psychology, this is definitely a good starting point.

Format:Paperback
but I personally find the Richard Gross textbook of the same name more straight forward. They do, however, compliment each other. This is still one of the best two psychology tomes on the market.
