September 28, 2009
I am revising my reveiw of the book guys. My recent experience of receiving a a text book late was largely out of their hands. The United states postal service messed up! I would hope in the future UPS would be the way to go. The staff at the book guys were communicative and concerned. My refund was issued promptly.

This book provides a wealth of information and goes in depth into the newly formed field of Social Psychology. The only drawback was the typographical errors that it contained, which is probably why it was for sale online rather than in a bookstore.

Best Textbook I've Ever Used by Courtney J. Ross (Chapel Hill, NC) 5 Stars
July 22, 2009
Hands down, this is my favorite textbook! It did an amazing job of presenting the material. Reading the book didn't feel like school work at all. Each chapter started with an interesting story, some of which I had heard on the news before. Then, the chapter explained the concept at hand, and concluded by explaining how the concept applied to the story. The text was very easy to understand and very interesting, with many examples. The book was filled with graphs and diagrams that enhanced the text. I can't express how much I enjoyed this text. I thoroughly recommend taking a Social Psychology class if you can, and definitely use this text book!!
