Review
"The author has accomplished his goal of promoting students' interest in human behavior through his personable writing style. I did not choose Coon's text because of his personal writing approach, although it was an added bonus. I chose his text mainly because after defining the topic, he asks question related to the topic that students may have and provides a direct answer to each question. I find that students ask questions that are similar to Coon's questions and therefore, can redirect them to reread that particular section in the text'The journal entries allow students to relate to the situation occurring in their own life which then prompts them to want to know more about the topic'The author manages to incorporate the example from the journal entry into the chapter as he discusses various related topics, thereby continuing to hold students' interests in the topic and connecting psychological concepts to daily activities."
"This text is an excellent introductory psychology text that provides a wide array of psychology topics and application to real-world experience. It is easily relatable and informative to students and creates a basis for many riveting and dynamic class discussions."

This is a good and very interesting book. I really enjoyed reading it, and the instructor that assigned it to his class was very smart to have assigned it becuase it helped me to understand the psychology world.

This textbook goes hand in hand with the intro Psychology class I am taking over winter break. I would say if this is a suggested/required textbook for a class you may be taking, then it's a must have!!!

My granddaughter had so many expenses at first semester, and this book was a 'must' for her course. All sold out in her area...so Nana to the rescue...and sure enough, found it on Amazon at a much better savings. Thank you, book suppliers,
for helping us.
