Review of the first edition
'The two authors have done a superb job of writing this book. The style is...crystal clear in presenting complex ideas in simple language, provides a 1990s idiom to articles that in the original versions would seem to today's students to represent the Middle Ages...Anyone who teaches introductory psychology should take a look at this book' - Contemporary Psychology
