Needs Editors

By Nom de Plume - September 12, 2011

Pros: This book comes with everything you might expect - a cover, and some pages inside.

Cons: This book feels like it is distributed with a younger student population in mind - middle or high school. Frequent references are made to pop culture (eg. Twilight), which are then related to Social Psychology in a manner which any film or english undergrad (or anyone with the ability to think, or even breathe critically) would find appalling.

Additionally, grammatical and syntax mistakes make reading this hilarious, sad, and difficult (almost always in that order).

Other Comments: After making it through 80 pages, I do not trust the book's authority, because of the sloppy editing and poor content choices, which is a shame, as it is a fairly pricy text from a large publishing house (Pearson).

Perhaps a newer edition has corrected these shortcomings. If so, consider buying that edition instead.

overpriced textbook

By George Ator - October 12, 2010

This Text is a slight revision from an older text and not much new added. It is hard to read easily because the authors insert sources into the text making it difficult to follow the flow. The sources should have been footnotes instead.
