Product Description
Since the First Edition of this book appeared, professors have praised its visual presentation of concepts, accessible writing style, and solid research-based scholarship. PSYCHOLOGY: THEMES AND VARIATIONS is about the ideas and concepts behind the research studies. His straightforward style gets students to contemplate open-ended questions, examine their assumptions, and apply psychological concepts to their own lives. Wayne Weiten surveys psychology's broad range of content with three aims: to illuminate the process of research and its intrinsic relationship to application; to show both the unity and diversity of the subject, and to invite students to the study of psychology by respecting their ability to master its fundamental concepts. Integrative themes--including empiricism, theoretical diversity, sociohistorical contexts, multifactorial causation, cultural heritage, heredity and environment, and subjectivity of experience--are woven throughout the text to provide connections among the different areas of research in psychology. The book's dynamic, teaching-oriented illustration program further enhances these themes. Weiten reinforces concepts through exercises that appear at the end of every chapter. At the same time, the author presents topics in a hierarchical manner, giving students handles they can use to prioritize concepts within the chapter.

 No Star Review!, 2008-09-03
I have never received this product and I have filed a claim to receive my money back. I have not heard from the seller or Amazon about my claim. I am expecting to have my credit card credited for the amount of the purchase. This was a horrible experience. The book did NOT come and so we purchased it at the college bookstore. It did not save any money or time ordering from Amazon and now it is one huge hassle to get my money back!

Did not expect playing cards, 2008-08-09
Item arrived on time. Cover of book intack, however, that was all that was intack. The pages were like a deck of cards - not bonded to the cover. Not what I expected, especially after the price of the item and the vendor's description. Needed it desperately for school, therefore, was forced to keep item.
