Richard Gross, Psychology: The Science of Mind and Behaviour

I have browsed through this book and I would recommend to anyone whose considering to pursue psychology. It has all the key aspects one requires to understand the science of mind and behavior. I will definitely read it during my summer holiday.

Its been with me since my Cognitive Science Masters Degree and has proven a worthy companion of my psychological quests. Especially those concerning the basic facets of social psychology. The only thing I did not like has nothing to do with the book or the author himself but has to do with the non-hardback version, which means that the book will not last as long as I hoped for. Nevertheless, both material and print are top notch.

Last but not least I have to mention that it has been with me for more then a decade and still is considered one of the best, something surely that makes it rather special.

Very good book, i recommend it to all psychology students, or anyone just interested in the subject. No prior knowledge is required for this book. The illustrations are very helpful and the fact it covers all areas means you do not have to buy 10 different books! Very easy to follow. My bible.

Everything you need to know about psychology's basics is in this book. I haven't read it so far, just ran through it, but I will, definitely. Be prepared if you're a student and will be carrying it about, it's really heavy!!
