Psychology: A Concise Introduction

At just $39 (price to the bookstore), Richard Griggs’ concise textbook is an inexpensive yet authoritative alternative for the introductory psychology course.  This can be a remarkable volume that offers—in spite of its brevity—a wealthy survey of the sector’s fundamental ideas and the research in the back of them, and a robust, carefully-developed supplements package for students and instructors.  No other text and supplements package offers such value for such an inexpensive price.

The new edition is thoroughly up to date, especially in fast-moving areas such as neuroscience and in coverage of topics suffering from the discharge of the DSM-5—all at the same time as maintaining the book’s trademark conciseness.
