5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, Dec 11 2007
By S. Matthes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Exploring Psychology (Paperback)
I have bought my share of text books, and more often then not I cringe at the cost for what you get. Often I find that my lecture materials are useful and the text is not.Not so this book! I loved it (although the chapters can be a little long)
PROS: the quizzes throughout chapters to test your understanding and an associated website with practice multiple choice and review questions that were invaluable for preparing for my class tests.
CONS: cover a bit soft and easily damaged when carrying it with you and book is heavy

This text book's a keeper!, May 26 2008
By Kathryn Myers - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Exploring Psychology (Paperback)
A common problem with text books is how dry they can make the material seem, not so with this book!It is filled with interesting case studies, helpful quotes, captivating illustrations and probing concept questions. The chapters are well outlined and have helpful review questions at the end of each section. The author slips in bits of dry humor, which keeps the reader engaged.
This text book is a keeper and won't be sold back at the end of the term.

Good for a required class, Mar 5 2008
By J. Twiss - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Exploring Psychology (Paperback)
Most of those required class textbooks are quite lame but this one does the job. My only complaint is that the chapters seem to go on forever. Also, you can see the guys biases easily too but overall, its an insightful textbook!
Listmania!
