Book Reviews of Psychology

Book Review: Well-designed introductory textbook for motivated students
Summary: 5 Stars

I took some psychology courses back in my college days, but that was in the early 90s. Since science is always changing, I wanted to brush up on some basics before pursuing graduate studies. This textbook did a good job of refreshing my memory and bringing me more up to date with more current science and research. Not only that, it went into more detail than some other similar textbooks without being overwhelming or hard to follow. I would highly recommend it as an introductory psychology textbook for someone new to the subject, or for someone looking to refresh their memory after a number of years after college before pursuing further studies. I feel more prepared now to tackle some more detailed study in the field.

Summary of Psychology

Peter Gray's Psychology has become a favorite of instructors with its exploration of psychology's major theories, and the evidence that supports and refutes these theories.  Each edition incorporates an exceptional amount of contemporary research, encouraging students to probe for the purposes and biological origins of behavior--the "whys" and "hows" of human psychology.  Peter Gray's engaging, readable writing style makes the science of psychology, and its interactions with biology, accessible and meaningful.  With the new edition, Gray has taken care to ensure that his comprehensive, thought-provoking, and contemporary coverage is well-attuned to the needs and interests of today's students.
