"The sheer breadth and scope of this book is amazing. ... Not only does this book boast an exceptional amount of content, it is also written in a way that will help students to reinforce their learning ... What is particularly striking about this book is the clear and attractive way in which it is set out. Full of colour, diagrams, and tables, this book is a joy to read." - Dr. Sue Wilkinson, Learning and Teaching Development Unit, University of Wales Institute, Cardiff in Psychology: Learning and Teaching "Eysenck is one of the best known psychologists in Europe and perhaps the best known A-Level psychology writer, and this book has seemed a long time coming for fans of his clear, authoritative style. ... This book serves its purpose well; providing those new to psychology with a concise, informative text on theories and research, a succinct glossary and three chapters on research methods covering everything from measures of dispersion through to how to write a psychology report. As if we expected anything less." - Kelly Bristow, Henley College, Oxfordshire, in The Psychologist "In my opinion Eysenck is the finest textbook author in the world at this level. The sheer breadth of material with which he is comfortable is most impressive, and he has a unique ability to communicate complex and contemporary material so as to make it accessible and interesting." - Matt Jarvis,Visiting Tutor in Education, Southampton and Keele Universities, UK "This must be surely one of the most comprehensive psychology textbooks in existence. It covers the diverse and multi-leveled discipline that psychology is and it does so in a highly sophisticated yet also readable and interesting way. I appreciated the historical perspective, and the focus on long-standing issues that perplexed and fascinated psychological scientists over the years, and found new framings with the introduction of new methods and techniques of inquiry." - Arie W. Kruglanski, Distinguished University Professor,
