Dalla quarta di copertina

WelcomeWelcome to the second edition of Psychology, European Edition. You will not find a better introductory psychology textbook. Psychology is comprehensive and superbly written: it engages, it informs, it facilitates debate. It is a lively yet rigorous text, supported by a wealth of additional material on a Companion Website.

Psychology covers in depth and in lively and critical fashion all the major aspects of 1st year undergraduate psychology courses. The authors emphasise how the various sub-disciplines in psychology are interrelated. Importantly, the text covers not only new and important research but also the application of that research to real-life problems and situations, giving the book a genuine 'real world' approach to the subject. Psychology contains a wealth of features to help you engage with the material and appreciate the many fascinating areas of enquiry within the field.
