    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for undergraduate psychology
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 July 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I was recommended this by a tutor int first year of undergraduate psychology.

    I have just graduated, but used this book for almost every module. This book was easy to follow, and was written in an easy but informative style.

    This book is well worth the money, and was often my first point of research.

    I would definitely recommend this to other undergraduate psychology students.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Used book, like new
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I knew the book was used, and was described as 'like new', and it came exactly as described. There is no writing in the book, which can get really annoying in textbooks, and the only way I can tell it's used is by the slightly worn corners of the cover.
