Awesome textbook!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is great. I expected, yet another textbook that is dull and difficult to read and understand; this textbook, however, is filled with humorous interjections, along with complex information presented in a simple way.

Text for Honors Introductory Psychology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I've used the text for my honors section of Psych 101 and as a source for lecture material in my other sections. IMHO, this the the best textbook for Intro Psych that I have ever come across in terms of the depth of material presented. It is, however, probably too difficult for the large lecture hall sections or sections taught entirely by graduate students. For these sections I would recommend David Myers' textbook. Much more student-friendly, and still an excellent source of information. Fridlund, et al., is still the gold standard.
Gleitman text a classic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is no longer the most current edition of this text book. The Gleitman text is definitive, comprehensive, a classic. Gleitman is now over 70, and writes from extensive and broad experience in many areas of psychology. His wife is Lila Gleitman, one of the foremost living linguists in America, after Chomsky.Henry Gleitman is a true humanist in the traditional sense. He writes with a deep sense of humanity. Within the field of psychology, he is rekowned for his teaching of intro psychology courses at Univ of Pennsylvania. When you read Gleitman's text, you get a great introduction to psychology from a true scholar who has stood at the forefront of his field for decades. His survey is taken from close personal acquaintence with many of the history-makers whose research is discussed in his book.If you are assigning an intro psych text, this is the one. If you are taking an intro psych class, with this text, bother to do the reading.
