About this work
Description
Summary: [The author] has three goals in writing this textbook. The first is to spark in students the passion that psychologists have for their work.... [The] second goal is to teach students that psychology is not a mere laundry list of names, dates, theories, terms and results, but an active and dynamic process of discovery.... [The] third goal is to demonstrate to students that basic and applied research are connected enterprises. There are many specific domains of application in psychology. [He] has chosen to present five of these areas, health, education, business, law and the environment, throughout the text.... Comprehensive mainstream textbook. -Pref.
