Psychology Exploring Our Universe Within 4th Edition Pdf
Psychology: Exploring Our Universe Within THIRD EDITION Edited by Patricia Alexander and Deborah A Yakel 7056233_CH00_FM_pi-x.pdf:7056233_ch00_FM.
Textbook PSYCHOLOGY, EXPLORING OUR UNIVERSE WITHIN is the intro psych textbook you are using in my classes. The book is now in the 4th edition, each edition is better, improved in terms of updating research info and figuring out how to make it more approachable to students. I came up with the idea of writing a textbook featuring all important chapters that almost every general psychology (intro) text has. I don’t believe, however, that other textbooks have a chapter on sexuality, our textbook has that. Also, I believe there is no other textbook with so many authors, I think we have 14 authors. I wanted this many authors since the idea was for each author to concentrate on his or her area of expertise, which helped us come up with high quality chapters and a diversity of writing styles. We intentionally didn’t want to have a single tone, since different people are different people, they are unique and I hope we managed to preserve the unique expression in each chapter.
Squeezebox radio. Since we authors will be working on the next edition soon, I welcome student comments suggesting what shall we improve about this text.
