SummaryTable of Contents
In this Eighth Edition of his best-selling briefer text, Dennis Coon presents psychology in a way students find fascinating, relevant, and above all, accessibleùin a book that is now streamlined and approximately 130 pages shorter. Built into every chapter are a number of features that help students grasp major concepts, develop a broad understanding of psychology's diversity, and see for themselves how psychology relates to the practical problems of everyday life. In this revision, Dennis Coon provides students with a book that they can experience - not just read. Every pedagogical feature, every boxed highlight, every piece of art is included with the goal of getting students actively engaged and involved with the material. In this Eighth Edition, Coon goes beyond the SQ3R method to include a new "Knowledge Builder" feature that adds a "fourth R" (relate) to the proven study-reading formula of survey, question, read, recite, review, and relate.
