Author Description

For courses in Introductory Psychology An overview of psychology that emphasizes critical thinking, gender, and culture Revel(tm) Psychology is designed to help students learn to think like psychologists, and to understand why scientific and critical thinking is so important to the decisions they make in their own lives. Updating the vision of longtime authors Carole Wade and Carol Tavris, new co-authors Samuel Sommers and Lisa Shin breathe new life into the text through modern pop culture references and coverage of real-world events. Throughout the 13th Edition, Sommers and Shin make the hallmarks of the text -- critical thinking, integrated coverage of gender and culture -- more appealing to a modern student audience.
