Recenzje

What they said about 'Study Skills for Geography Students': Of value throughout a degree programme. Every student should buy a copy.
Dr G. P. Hollier, University of Strathclyde, UK

A very good introductory text for Psychology students, which will continue to be a source of tips and advice throughout their degree programme. It does much to actually encourage the reader to enjoy their time at university.
