Author Description

The accomplished author team of Phillip Zimbardo (APA president 2001-2002), Ann Weber, and Bob Johnson once again present psychology to both teachers and students in a meaningful, manageable format. Each chapter of this brief, less expensive textbook focuses on the key questions and core concepts of psychology, supported by an extensive pedagogical structure designed to aid students. A wealth of instructive features, such as “Psychology in Your Life,” “Using Psychology to Learn Psychology,” and “Do it Yourself!” enhance student learning and retention of key psychological concepts. Psychology, Fourth Edition integrates a cross-cultural and multicultural perspective to make psychology meaningful for all readers. This is all accomplished in a 14-chapter format, which is easier to integrate into a semester or quarter course. This affordable Books à la Carte Edition features the exact same content from our traditional textbook in a convenient, notebook-ready loose-leaf format – allowing students to take only what they need to class. As a bonus, the Books à la Carte Edition is accompanied by a full-color, laminated Study Card that’s a perfect tool to help students prepare for exams.
