Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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 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.

Synopsis:

Never HIGHLIGHT a Book Again! Virtually all testable terms, concepts, persons, places, and events are included. Cram101 Textbook Outlines gives all of the outlines, highlights, notes for your textbook with optional online practice tests. Only Cram101 Outlines are Textbook Specific. Cram101 is NOT the Textbook.

It is full of an exciting perspective on gender issues in psychology and includes recent advances in Neurosciences. For those of in Developing countries cost will still be a challenge, but i think it's cost effective.
