Psychology : Themes and Variations, Briefer Version (Paperbound Edition wit h InfoTrac)

Belmont, CA: Wadsworth Publishing, 2001. Good. In this Briefer Version, as in the longer text, Wayne Weiten shows the unit y and diversity of psychology's subject matter, illuminates the process of research and its intimate link to application, and gives students a present ation that makes it easy to learn without sacrificing conceptually challeng ing material. The Briefer Version is created expressly for those professors who are drawn to Weiten's fresh, original approach to the subject matter a nd his impeccable scholarship, but find the longer text a bit too much for their students to master in one term. This Fifth Edition of the Briefer Ver sion is visually stunning, scientifically sound, and fun to read. Making le arning easy without lowering the level of scholarship, Weiten presents intr oductory psychology in a way that will be meaningful to students long after they have completed the course.
