There is no such thing as a light, perfunctory revision of David Myers? Psychology. Each new edition is a fresh opportunity to communicate psychology?s enduring principles and pivotal research in terms that captivate students and connect with their lives. But even by Myers? standards, Psychology, Ninth Edition, is truly exceptional. This exhaustive update of the bestselling textbook for introductory psychology incorporates the largest number of new research citations of any revision to date, as well as new inquiry-based pedagogy, a reconceptualized art program, and the next generation of media and supplements. Yet, edition after edition, David Myers demonstrates an uncanny ability to communicate the science of psychology in a uniquely engaging, accessible way.

Beware! It Will Suck You In!

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2011

Verified Purchase

If you asked me if I was interested in Psychology before taking this class/reading this book, I would have said "NO!" I was a biology major during my undergrad and somehow got by without taking a Psych class. I didn't think it was a real science. Well, I just finished an on-line course using this book. The majority of the class was the book. Now, I wish I majored in Psychology. It was fascinating! In fact, I found myself reading it out loud to my husband. I loved the little psych test, ie. what do you see in this picture, can you draw two different figures with your two different hands, which face looks female/male, etc. The author peppered every lesson with real life examples which made it come to life. Also, it was organized in a way which was easy to understand. Finally, every section would end with a question to test if the student learned/understood the material. In one word: fantastic!

First Rate Text Book

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2012

This may be the most clearly written and well-organized text book I've ever read. One of the benefits of it being a 9th edition perhaps - the author and team have had time to perfect it - although I haven't read any of the earlier editions. Every chapter is so clearly presented, key points are easy to review, great visuals that help reinforce the concepts. It is also very readable. Definitely a five star book.

Great Content - Too Many Cartoons

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2011

Verified Purchase

I've gone through a lot of textbooks in my college career, and they vary from being completely inane to be so dense it is nearly impossible to plow through them. David Myers does a great job of taking on a quite challenging topic and parsing it out in a way that is both understandable and not dumbed down.

He tackles the material step by step, providing the building blocks first, getting into issues of anatomy, then launching out into more complex topics such as dreams, memory, and stress. I found each chapter quite fascinating and well covered. This isn't a book to zip through. It's one to sit down with, really study the chapter, and then give yourself time to absorb it. As he indicates in his chapter on learning, this process is one that helps the brain best absorb the details.

Generally I found the graphs and charts to be helpful, and the overall layout to help get the message home. However, I found the incessant use of cartoons to be REALLY distracting. I really don't need to have cute cartoons on every single page - and, I kid you not - there are pages with TWO cartoons on them because clearly one wasn't enough.

Woman on phone: "Thank you for calling the Psychic Hotline. How can I help you?"
Man on phone: "You tell me ..."

Ha ha ha. This is in a chapter on "Sensation and Perception". I really didn't need that cartoon to help me learn the information, and if anything it distracts me from my task at hand.

Still, the book provides a great wealth of fascinating information. I'll knock a star off for those annoying cartoons, and maybe they can be mitigated somewhat in future editions.

I needed a Psych book fast

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2011

Verified Purchase

It was a dark cold night when I realized my college book store would not be restocking my psych book any time soon. The thought of doing well in my Psychology class was fading away without the textbook near me. When all hope seemed lost, a brilliant idea popped right into my head: Amazon. A glimmer of light shone through the darkness of my impending failure as I ordered online that purple and lime green book of all books. It shone even brighter the day it was in my hands, three quick days later. My opinion is that I love Amazon, more then I could ever love a puppy or baby elephant, for getting me a psych book lickety-split.

Yeah... So. Apparently, I am a sociopath, and so is her dad. Oh, and her brother is a narcissist. And she is totally normal. :D

Great book for budding 16-year-old psychologists everywhere. Give them the gift of self-analysis. Go on, do it! I guess it's better than those popular online self-psych tests? Mmm Hmm...

Meyer's Psychology

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2011

Verified Purchase

This is one of those difficult books that when it is good, it is good, and when it is bad, it is bad. Some of the book was very interesting. (My personal favorite section was the one that dealt with sleep.) However, I found other parts of it to be on the offensive side. The chapters are pretty long and sometimes cumbersome to read through. However, as I said, some of the information it presented was fascinating.

Saved me so much money

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2016

Verified Purchase

Great buy! The book was in almost perfect condition which was great as I really wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered it. For anyone who needs this book know that if your teacher said to get a newer edition you can definitely get away with this one (unless they said its not allowed), but the only differences really are slight page number discrepancies, really not a big deal at all. My professor was happy to let us use old editions, because many of us would have dropped the class otherwise

It was my first time shopping online and I did not trust on this kind of things, but then after I bought my psychology book and received it I really trust on amazon because my book is like a new one, no missing pages or anything else. Im so happy I received the book as it was described in a good quality and also, it was a good deal because instead of paying more than $100 dollars in the bookstore i just payed $18 total for it in amazon! amazing(:
