Customer Reviews

Teacher's view
Well-written text interspersed with just enough photos/pictures/diagrams to prevent boredom in those students who dislike pages of uninterrupted writing, but without looking a garish mess. Packed with interesting feature boxes such as "How Science Works", "Psychology in Context", "Issues,Debates and Approaches", wonderful visual summaries of material for revision and lots of student activities to get them thinking and for use in class discussions and practical lessons. The introductory section on Approaches, Issues and Debates is very comprehensive compared to other A2 texts currently available, but is essential for a high grade and easily understandable. No prizes for guessing which book I'll be using for teaching next term. This one really stands out from the others and has enough activity features within the text not to have to rely upon expensive web resources to make it more user-friendly.
