Product DescriptionThis text offers the clearest, most scientific and authoritative coverage of psychological science with a distinctly global flavour. Authors from three continents survey the increasingly empirical and international field of psychology, while placing a strong emphasis on what neuroscience research has discovered about human behaviour. It will provide students with a rigorous exploration of the core principles of the whole field. It is very current, with recent biological and physiological discoveries accurately portrayed.ReviewWonderful examples (definitely a highlight of this textbook!)…The Canadianization of this book is great. I have seen so many bad examples so this is a welcome change. They fit seamlessly with the material and they enhance the coverage as opposed to detracting from it.- Jason Daniels, Faculty of Extension, University of AlbertaThe writing and flow of each chapter makes the text engaging for the reader…I found the chapters to be engaging and highly readable. This is one of the most important criteria for me because unless the text material is engaging, the students will not read it.- Linda L. Hatt Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of British Columbia OkanaganThe manuscript overall appears to be well done…the features seem to be well thought out and I believe Canadian students will find this book interesting, as well as be challenged by the content.- Kristine A.
