Psychology - Hardcover
Appropriate for introductory psychology courses, this text is very "newsy." The author never resorts to "John & Mary in the dorm" hypotheticals to make a point. Rather he illustrates the principles of psychology with vivid events from the worlds of entertainment, sports, literature, medicine, law, politics, and current events.

About the Author:
From the Back Cover:
Saul Kassin is Professor of Psychology at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Born and raised in New York City, he graduated with a B.S. from Brooklyn College in 1974. He received his Ph.D. in personality and social psychology from the University of Connecticut in 1978. He then spent one year at the University of Kansas and two at Purdue University. He was awarded a prestigious U.S. Supreme Court Judicial Fellowship in Washington, D.C., and then worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the Psychology and Law Program at Stanford University.
Kassin is coauthor of Social Psychology (now in its 4th edition). He has also authored or edited six other books and has written numerous articles on the topics of attribution theory, social and cognitive development, and applications of psychology to jury decision-making, eyewitness testimony, confession evidence, and other aspects of law. He has served on the editorial boards of several major journals.
Away from work, Kassin has coached youth baseball. He has an insatiable appetite for sports, politics, rock'n'roll, travel, and ethnic food.
