Each chapter in A History of Psychology provides a thorough and global view of psychology's interaction with culture and society in different periods beginning in the ancient times and stretching through the Middle Ages and the modern period to the current millennium. Without reducing the discussion of both contemporary and classic themes and theories, this textbook endorses a more diversified, inclusive approach to psychological knowledge. Constant connections between past and present, a clear and engaging style, along with plentiful examples, visual aids, and critical-thinking questions make this an enjoyable text for students. Features: Each chapter begins with a highly engaging vignette or opening case, which features a familiar-to-most-students theme or topic. Global and multicultural emphasis examines the development of psychology from around the world. The text examines contemporary psychology yet does not give short shrift to the roots of psychology. Each chapter contains a section on the impact of psychology on society as well as societal influences on the discipline which includes its influence in various fields such as medicine, education, work, criminal justice, business, advertising, and entertainment. Case In Point boxes give students the opportunity to come to their own conclusions about issues and think critically about biases that may have influenced psychology. Carefully designed chapter opening timelines place main events, names, and theories in a visual, chronological perspective of psychology's past and present In their own words boxes display quotes made by famous psychologists and other scholars about psychological research and its applications Checkpoints, chapter summaries and end-of-chapter key terms help students review and prepare for exams, Offering a fresh, accessible, and global approach to the history of psychology, the fully revised Second Edition of Eric B. Shiraev's A History of Psychology: A Global Perspective, provides a thorough view of psychology's progressive and evolving role in society and how its interaction with culture has developed throughout history, from ancient times through the Middle Ages and the modern period to the current millennium. Taking an inclusive approach, the text addresses contemporary and classic themes and theories with discussion of psychologys development in cultures and countries all too often neglected in overviews of the field. High-interest topics, including the validity of psychological knowledge and volunteerism, offer readers the opportunity to apply the history of psychology to their own lives.

    Just received this new and sealed Hot Wheels 1995 Blue Honda Integra Type R and it’s just as described. I love the quality of the item itself and the packaging was secure and clean. It’s sold out on the Hot Wheels website and this seller had it for a very reasonable price. The shipping was fast and the boxes and sealed bag were very reassuring. A+

    I was so happy to find this book on EBay in new condition and at just the right price. Upon receiving it, it is just as described. Also, the same day that I purchased the item, I received a notice from Ebay that the seller was preparing it for shipping … amazing!!! As a purchaser, that makes a difference. And, finally the shipping cost was reasonable. I will definitely purchase from this seller again.
