This classic text emphasizes the science of psychology, with a special focus on applying that science to students' daily lives. Psychology and Life continues to provide a rigorous, research-centered survey of the discipline while offering students special features and learning aids that will spark their interest and excite their imaginations. The eighteenth edition, which has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest cutting-edge research, features an increased emphasis on critical thinking, new practice tests at the end of each chapter, a beautiful new design and an updated art program. Psychology and Life is the premiere text accompanying the Discovering Psychology Telecourse Series. A telecourse faculty guide and study guide to tie the videos to the textbook are available through Allyn & Bacon.
