Full Description
Psychology, Third Edition, builds upon the experience and reputations of Phil Zimbardo and Ann Weber with the addition of a new co-author, Bob Johnson, who has a wealth of teaching experience at the community college level. This briefer, less expensive textbook presents psychology to both teachers and students in a meaningful, manageable format that focuses on the key questions and core concepts of psychology.Extensive pedagogy, like "Psychology in Your Life," "Using Psychology to Learn Psychology," cross reference arrows, and "If You're Interested," enhance learning and retention. Finally, Psychology integrates a cross-cultural and multicultural perspective to make psychology meaningful for all students. This is done in a briefer, 14-chapter format that is easier to integrate into a semester or quarter course.
