Recenzje

The present volume is a major enterprise, into which much work, and much information has been poured.
The Psychology of Education Review (about the first edition)

It is ahead of it's time scholastically - state of the art research; colour coding helps retain critical information. This will be the leading introduction for British undergraduates in psychology for the next few decades.
Dr A Cassidy, Belfast Institute of Further & Higher Education (about the first edition)

This text is a complete education in psychological science from a contemporary critical perspective, provocative and engages the reader to think critically about the application of psychological principles in everyday human behaviour and social interaction.

"..Like the layout of the book...easy to find what you are looking for...easy to read."
