Revue de presse

Well, those of us brought up on early editions of this classic book will be astonished by the new edition. It is, honestly, fantastic! The layout is new, with loads of classic and also up-to-date studies; the illustrations are great and the whole feel is so user-friendly. It's an excellent reference tome, a real asset - and no, they haven't paid us to say this. The content is fantastic, and the useful summaries, talking points, key studies and chapter summaries are all so good. (Association of Teachers of Psychology Newsletter 2001-09-01)
