Description

David Myers's "Psychology" is a textbook like no other-- always fresh, always introducing effective new tools for teaching and learning, and always attuned to the fascinating ways that new research can shape the introductory psychology course. The new Eighth Edition is vintage Myers. It redefines excellence for an introductory psychology textbook, raising the standard with its expanded emphasis on diversity and gender issues, its incorporation of new frontiers in research studies in such show more areas as neuroscience and cognition, new learning features, and its expanded media/supplements package. Myers continues the tradition of previous editions of bonding psychological science with a broad perspective that engages both the mind and the heart. show less

Terribly biased and written based on outdated data. Myers apparently has no knowledge of biopharmacology or of the studies done on St. Johnswort. He presents statements alluding all intense religious experiences with fantasy prone personalities, a point of view prohibited by NIMH. This was also very culturally insensitive and downright offensive in places. One star for at least making concepts accessible.
An interesting enough textbook. I haven't read word for word but what I've read of it, I've enjoyed. Psychology is always interesting, and this textbook does a good job teaching it.
The best psychology book I ever had. Introduces the various subjects in psychology. Breaks it down so it is easy to understand
