From the Publisher:
New "Recurring Themes in Psychology" are presented in the introductory chapter and referred back to at appropriate points in later chapters as a means of tying together the diverse subfields of the discipline
Extensive discussion of the implications of behavioral genetics presents a sophisticated, elegant research paradigm, which allows psychologists to determine the relative effects of genetics, family influences, and unique (personal) experiences
Distributed, functional approach to topics in neuroscience presents neuroscientific evidence throughout the text (rather than confined to a single chapter), as needed to understand various concepts
"In Depth" sections allow a more relaxed discussion of very interesting topics, with an overview of the history, revisions, and contemporary evaluation of each topic
Complete integration of theory and research includes applications throughout the text
A focus is maintained throughout the book on the process of scientific inquiry that is, how psychologists develop testable hypotheses, how they gather and interpret data, and how they arrive at conclusions
