Recenzje

"...the second [edition] has something to offer to all teachers of psychology. It is well organized, with a structure that parallels most introductory psychology texts....This three-volume set of class activities compiled by Ware and Johnson remains a potentially valuable resource for the faculty member who desires to be more effective in the classroom. It is arguably the most complete source of its kind available to teachers of psychology."
