An improved technology package includes a student CD free with all new books; psychology quizzes powered by Eduspace; all-new, extensive PowerPoint slides available on an instructor CD or on the web; plus more depth and variety of student and instructor materials on the web site.

- Bernstein and Penner: Introductory Psychology
This is an excellent book which I find very difficult to fault. It is clearly explained and well presented and the online materials accompanying the book are very useful. The way in which the subject is presented is exciting and, despite being introductory material, the book invites the reader to take their skills to a higher level by deliberate application of critical thinking.

- Instructor's edition vs student
The text is the same. However, when compared to the student's edition, the instructor's edition is missing a lot of extras (sample tests, study hints, etc.) Those can be found on the website, but not in the book. In the student's edition, the extras take up about 200 pages.

If you want more material--Instructor's edition has less than student.

- One of the best psychology books I've ever read!
I don't know if this is going to reflect on the quality of the psychology book, or the caliber of books I have read and reviewed, but I must say, this introductory psychology book is one of the best I've ever seen. The examples capture the reader and are used in an intelligent way to demonstrate the major points of each chapter. And I was never bored once with this book, which is a big plus. A great book for an intro to psych class!

- Psychology for poets
While this Psycholgy book does have some good points and interesting approaches, if you use this book in a class setting you will be dissapointed. The questions that the proffesor will use for test and quizes are elementary. But so elementary that they are completly subjective.
