Product Description
Always on top of the latest news in psychology, always tuned in to what’s happening in the classroom, David Myers’ Exploring Psychology is far and away the best-selling brief introduction to psychology. Thoroughly reexamined page by page, line by line, and reference by reference, each new edition is both refreshingly innovative and reassuringly Myers.
The new Seventh Edition is both classic Myers and cutting-edge psychology, a rich presentation of ideas and applications featuring hundreds of new research citations, over 40% new photos, and state-of-the-art media and supplements. But its most compelling feature remains the inimitable Myers’ voice—a voice that speaks directly to the curiosities and experiences of all kinds of students. Myers’ writing keeps students reading…and learning.

The book seems to have a good layout to help you grasp and remember the info. There are review questions every few pages and questions at the begining of each section to point to in the direction their taking you. I don't agree with all that is said in the book as it does not match up to the Bible, God's infalable Word.The anatomy section is about our neural system and the section about the brain is pretty interesting.

WONDERFUL Psychology Text Book January 30, 2010
J. King (Pompano Beach, FL)
I've never wanted to write a fan letter to the author of a text book...until now. Author David G. Myers understands how the human brain works and learns and puts it to great effect in this book. If most text books are dry, then this one is juicy. Of all the text books I've ever had, I've enjoyed this one the most. Here's what makes it great:
- Lots of relevant color pictures, comic strips, graphs, diagrams, and quotes in the margins make the book more like a (very large) magazine
- Vocabulary words appear in the margins for contextual reviews
- Inside cover shows time line of great people and events in psychology
- Sections have both conventional titles and goals for learning that set expectations
- Text is easy-to-read, often entertaining and summarizes many interesting facts and experimental findings
- Interspersed self tests throughout a chapter are like rest stops on a turnpike that help verify comprehension and retention
- Chapter end review, vocabulary lists, and self tests are great refreshers
- Glossary provides full vocabulary of terminology
- Indexes of subjects, names, and references make reviews easy
This book is a keeper. I'm not selling it back after my class ends. You'll have to buy your own copy. :)
