Product Description
Product Description
Seeing and reading this sentence may seem like a "no brainer"—but your perception is just a tiny part of what is happening in your brain and body right now (both are much busier than you might think). SENSATION AND PERCEPTION has helped many students like you understand the ties between how we sense the world and how the body interprets these senses. A key strength of this text has always been the ability to illustrate concepts through examples and visuals. Dr. Goldstein walks you through an intriguing journey of the senses, combining clear writing, his extensive classroom experience, and innovative research to create a visual, colorful text. Complemented by nearly 500 illustrations and photographs, this text has also been sharpened to make it more readable than ever, based on feedback from 2,000 student users. The accompanying VIRTUAL LAB media exercises (available on CD-ROM and online) offer a wide array of interactive animations and examples designed to stimulate your understanding of difficult concepts.

Required Textbook for a Good Price,

This review is from: Sensation and Perception (with Virtual Lab Manual CD-ROM) (Hardcover)
This textbook was required for one of my courses, it was significantly cheaper to get it on Amazon, and it shipped and arrived almost immediately before I needed it for my classes.

Your complaints make yourself look stupid.,
By Jonathan J. Bobal - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sensation and Perception (with Virtual Lab Manual CD-ROM) (Hardcover)
The book is complely sound, however a bit over priced for much of the same material found in the old edition.The previous reviewer complains about a Amazon marketplace seller in the book review and gives the book a one star review. How do people review the book based on the seller review unknowingly? The book isn't a one star, but because of your rant it now looks as if the book is rated horribly when the only problem was your own incompetence. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful

Pretty good book.,

This review is from: Sensation and Perception (with Virtual Lab Manual CD-ROM) (Hardcover)
As a psychology major wanting to focus on the counselling aspects, a sensation and perception course was definitely not high on my 'want to take' list. But, not only was the class entertaining and informative, but this text was pretty darn good. It wasn't nearly as dry as my usual psychology text book, and it was highly informative, going into depth and giving examples to tie everything together. If you are a psychology professor, I would highly recommend this text for your class. It made me, someone not interested in the topic at all, not only love the class but continue to use the knowledge that I gained in real world settings.

great text, don't know why people are complaining,

This review is from: Sensation and Perception (with Virtual Lab Manual CD-ROM) (Hardcover)
The writing is concise and the book is updated so often because of all of the new research coming out on sensation and perception. Lots of recent research is included in this text, which is cool. If you're into looking at diagrams/pictures while learning, everything is in color and aesthetically pleasing to look at. I wouldn't agree with the previous reviewer that the language is too technical. Yes, it would probably help to have an intro to psychology course or some knowledge of science behind you, but the author defines and explains his concepts very well, in my opinion. I didn't use the CD that came with it, but my professor did in her lectures which had relevant demonstrations that I thought were interesting.
