Psychology (book alone): United States Edition Stephen M. Kosslyn

Through their own research and clinical work, as well as their experiences as teachers, highly regarded authors Stephen Kosslyn and Robin Rosenberg have found that exploring psychology from multiple perspectives further enhances learning. Psychology: The Brain, The Person, The World, Second Edition examines psychological concepts from the levels of the brain (biological factors), the person (beliefs, desires, and feelings) and the world (social, cultural, and environmental factors) and their interactions, in order to help students organize and integrate topics within and across chapters and actively apply psychology to their lives.

Psychology (book alone) Bewertungen

It is one of the most engaging texts I've seen. The chapter stories are among the best I've seen, and really flow well with the text. Kosslyn & Rosenberg do a great job threading these stories throughout the book. The writing style is solid and consistent. - Dan Horn, University of Michigan

Because of their complementary backgrounds in clinical psychology and cognitive neuroscience, the authors bring both a biological and psychological as well as an applied multidimensional approach to the understanding of human behavior. - Joseph Davis, San Diego State University

As you read the Kosslyn & Rosenberg textbook you can certainly see the combined influence of the authors, one being a cognitive neuroscientist and the other a clinical psychologist. The levels of analysis theme clearly reflects these dual influences. - Kathy Immel, University of Wisconsin Fox Valley

The Looking at Levels sections are a unique feature of this book. Students often struggle to understand how so many different topics can fit into one discipline. The Looking at Levels sections do a good job of explaining this. - Marcia McKinley, Mount St. Mary's College

The Looking at Levels sections are AWESOME- these sections will engage the student and bring them right into the topic. - Joel Alexander, Western Oregon University

The Kosslyn & Rosenberg textbook definitely incorporates timely research and does so in a way that makes it understandable for students. - Kathy Immel, University of Wisconsin Fox Valley

A strength of this book is its great dedication to being current. Numerous areas are receiving updates of the latest, greatest research. This is wonderfully balanced with classical studies. - Linda Lockwood, Metro State College

It is a concise, well written text that has a variety of good ancillary materials. - Sally B. King, University of Maryland Eastern Shore

The artwork is visually interesting and different than what I usually see in textbooks. - Melvyn King, SUNY Cortland

This text conveys the enthusiasm I feel for the field of psychology. - Irene Vlachos-Weber, Indiana University

The writing style is terrific. - Paul G. Shinkman, University of North Carolina

The second edition has a wonderful 'feel' to it. - Marisa B. McLeod, Santa Fe Community College

The authors do a nice job of presenting both the historical studies and integrating them with the recent neuroscience work. - Bennett Schwartz, Florida International University

The level of reading, the explanations, the descriptions, the examples, the follow through, and the pedagogy, are excellent. - Michael K. Garza, Brookhaven College
