Excuse me, But do you Mind?,
When asked to choose a book to use in my Introduction to Psychology class, I was somewhat unsure because there are armadas of books out there. For students, I think someone should take in price as a factor, look at what they are given in the way of student-aid and multimedia, and how good the book really happens to be. I initially chose this book because I knew someone that had used an older version of it and said that it was a good choice and, well, I couldn’t be happier.
As far as the cost of the book, it really isn’t bad for a new book. It keeps up with newer stuff, not really leaving you behind with outmoded material you really shouldn’t learn anyhow. It also adds in newer elements to the study of the subject, allowing a student to feel out the subject without feeling like they’ve stepped onto the Intro bandwagon. This isn’t to say that all the beginner’s concepts aren’t covered because they are – this is simply to say that the book takes the subjects and runs with them a lot more than most beginner material. Another thing to take into account if you are teaching a class are the number of chapters vs. the filler material. With classes becoming shorter now (many schools now have a 14 week series v. a 16 week one) the material needs to be able to sink in faster.
Happily for the students reading this, the material will do that AND the book will come with A LOT of help to making testing a positive experience.
One nice thing that comes with the book is the Concept Charts, making it east for people to see the ideas “come to life.” It is easier to explain how a science goes from an idea to a modern approach by placing it in a nice graph, and the points that are added make it easier still to separate one person from another. The Chart book follows along with the book amazingly, too; I looked into it first off and saw that it took into account everything the Chapters were trying to say.
Running through the book, it covers: Evolution of Psychology, Researching, Biological Biases for Psychology, Sensation and Perception, Variations on Consciousness, Learning, Memory, Language and Thought, Intelligence and Testing, Motivation and Emotion, Development across the Life Span, Personality, Stress and Coping, Disorders, Treatment, and Social behavior. Combine this with the CD, web help, and you’ve got a full book of concepts.
If your teacher picked this out, MAKE SURE you get the concept charts with your book. It is good, will help you if you are going into any field dealing with psychology, and is a book that is worth keeping instead of recycling.

|Great for distance learners!,
I am taking all distance learning courses and I have found that this book is user friendly and informative. As a student taking distance learning courses it is important to have a good understanding of your text materials to do well. This book has many features to help you take better notes, become a better reader, and allows you to test your knowledge throughout various points of each chapter as well as at the end of each chapter. This book contains personal applications and critical thinking applications at the end of every chapter. These elements of the text allow the student to apply what they have learned to their personal experience as well as their educational experience. This is a great pick for the distance learner and any student who appreciates a good education.

|An excellent *introductory* text to Psychology for everybody,
Weiten’s book covers all the major aspects of Psychology, including an outline of its historical background, accepted principles, principles in dispute, and case studies. The book is wonderfully typeset in full colour, using illustration without hesitation. The abundance of case studies — as with any non-fiction book — makes reading the book both enjoyable and relevant. Weiten includes all the major experiments, like Milgram’s obedience study in which ordinary people were willing to give massive electric shocks to others — all in the name of ‘research’. The large format pages allow clear demonstrations of: puzzle solving, optical illusions, and other intriguing aspects of psychology. As a bonus, the book includes a quote and mug-shot of *all* the main psychologists the book mentions (incl. Freud, Jung, Bandura, Skinner & Milgram). I loved the book, and you’ll be anally retentive not to have a look.
