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.

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.

Terribly biased and written based on outdated data. Myers apparently has no knowledge of biopharmacology or of the studies done on St. Johnswort.

This was also very culturally insensitive and downright offensive in places. One star for at least making concepts accessible. ( )
