The Norton Psychology Reader

I bought this book after discovering that Yale psychologist Paul Bloom used it in his introductory psychology course and was not let down. Marcus succeeded in providing the reader with an array of the best writing in psychology today. The book may be a little outdated, but the ensemble of featured psychologists represents some of the best that the field has to offer - including James, Freud, and Chomsky. I read this during my time as a psychology undergraduate and found it very enjoyable and informative. It is a good choice for psychology undergrads or more advanced learners, as well as interested laypeople.

I ordered this book to use with the Yale Open Course Intro to Psychology. I haven't started the course yet, so I haven't used the book but in perusing it the articles look good. I was especially pleased with how quickly I received this book and what great condition it's in. When it was listed as "used - like new" they weren't kidding. Thank you!

I had to buy this for an intro to Psych class as a Psych major, but loved it so much I am keeping it! It contains many classical studies, some of which are considered unethical nowadays. It is very interesting and easy to understand, even for someone who does not know much of psychology.

Interesting topics

This is a great read to refine your skills in psychology. Let's start at the beginning with Willam James, examin language with Stevin Pinkert, and fall in love with all the other authors Marcus has collaborated. If you love psychology you will love this book.

I bought this to go with an on-line course. Although only selected readings were assigned, I have read the whole book. I have learned so much, and enjoyed it. I would recommend the book highly.

This book is great--I have to read certain selections for my Psych100 class and they are always interesting and exciting. It is great to have a compilation of literature from many famous psychologists. A must read for any psychology student or psych enthusiast!
