Psych minor

This book came fast without any damage. It was in great condition. Even though it is an exam copy, it is the same as the regular text.

Interesting and informative

This book is for a class but it's still fun and interesting to read because it has tons of diagrams, tables, and pictures to help you along the way.

Well, i liked it...

i'm a grad student in AI who has decided to study psychology, a field i know relatively little about. i'd read a lot of specialized psych (mostly cog sci) books that went in-depth on a single topic and decided i wanted to get a book to familiarize myself with the basic concepts. So i ordered this one. i am vocally critical of a lot of text books, but i actually really liked this one. It covered most of what i wanted to know, taught me about all sorts of things i didn't know i wanted to know and was pretty darn well written. It is an intro/survey book, so don't think the ~300 pages here will make you an expert in any single field, but it puts those fields in context well and then points you to where you can get more information. Don't know about other people, especially those who know far more about psychology than i did, but i personally really enjoyed reading this book. A lot

Excellent reading

An easy-read book with a magnificent layout. Good structure of the contents. It backs up a lot of it's saying on experiments performed and show the reader a bit about them. Nice "Recommended reading"-section closing every chapter.
