Having endorsed this text book previously, and used it for nearly ten years, I still get asked by students if it’s still one of those books I wish I had written. This updated edition still manages to convey complicated information to students in a clear and easy to comprehend manner – so yes, it’s still one of those books I wish I’d written.
Essential Social Psychology is precisely that -- essential. Crisp and Turner are a powerhouse team in social psychology, and this textbook reflects not only their grasp of the literature, but their passion for its findings and implications. The text is both approachable and comprehensive, a must-have for the classroom.
Good subject information and nicely presented.
