Psychology

By David G. Myers

David Myers’s Psychology is a textbook like no other—always fresh, always introducing effective new tools for teaching and learning, and always attuned to the fascinating ways that new research can shape the introductory psychology course.  The new Eighth Edition is vintage Myers.  It redefines excellence for an introductory psychology textbook, raising the standard with its expanded emphasis on diversity and gender issues, its incorporation of new frontiers in research studies in such areas as neuroscience and cognition, new learning features, and its expanded media/supplements package.
 
Myers continues the tradition of previous editions of bonding psychological science with a broad perspective that engages both the mind and the heart.

Myers’ book is unquestionably the best text for an AP Psych or introductory psychology course. I used his text when I took AP Psych (and got a 5 on the AP exam using it) and continued to refer to it throughout college. Myers’ writing style is fluid, making this an enjoyable read. His understanding of his subject is solid, and it comes across in his writing. What is even more amazing is how much I retained from reading the text; some texts you can read and come away with very little, but I found that with Myers’ book, your attention is so well kept that you retain it even better. The newest edition seems to continue that trend. A must-own for anyone taking AP or college-level psych or who is interested in the subject.
