Description
Noting that as the field of psychology grows, introductory textbooks are getting longer and longer but the time allocated for the introductory course remains the same, Weiten (Santa Clara U.) offers a briefer version than most. He focuses on showing both the unity and diversity of the discipline's subject matter, and the process of research and its intimate line to application. No dates are mentioned for the earlier editions. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
