Psychology surrounds us all, is through us all, and whether we like it or not, seeks to describe, explain, predict and control the various aspects of our lives.
This book introduces readers to the various scientific elements that outline the vast field of psychology. Did You Know vignettes bring the content to life for readers while embedded objectives, key terms, a running glossary, and exercises help them test their comprehension.
