Average Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5

1) Intro to Psych   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This book is designed to be easy to read, and is really really interesting. If you're looking to expand your knowledge, i would suggest it. It's a real quick read.

2) Keeps you Interested   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This book does a great job of giving you information that you can relate to or apply to what you see in every day life. So far I've really enjoyed it.

3) Awesome for intro. to psychology   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
It seems that many other books in psychology do not offer information in such a broad and defined view to the wide content that creates Psychology as a science. I would recommend this book to someone instead of the For Dummies or Complete Idiots Guide series. The logic behind many concepts are shown in cartoons, pictures, and presentations. I would say this book, in many aspects, is descriptive.This book includes the following:- Diseases and disorders- Cognitive science (learning, developmental stages, etc.)- neuroscience/neurophysiology (schizo mind, neural connections)- Psychophysics, which describe how the human body interprets information through their senses. (THIS IS NOT IN A LOT OF PSYCHOLOGY BOOKS, VERY NECESSARY TO LEARN)- Psychobiology and evolutionary genetics

4) A good place to start   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
For the beginning psychology student, or for someone who just wants to learn some of the basics, this is a good book. I used to for a class and it is quite informative. It teaches many of the psych terms and gives examples of how the ideas apply to real life. It also gets a little into the biological things having to do with psychology, but not real deep. A few entertaining things are in there as well, like small comic strips to demonstrate their points in a humorous way.

5) Great experience   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Received quickly and in great shape! Would definitely buy from this seller again.
