A Degree in a Book: Psychology: Everything You Need to Know to Master the Subject

A perfect read for my son's studies. Very informative and interesting. He doesn't normally like to read but this was gripping him. He was reading this and less on his phone. Perfect.

Great book alongside A psychology course!

Explica de forma fácil y entretenida un recorrido muy completo y visual por la historia de la psicología

WIth a huge emphasis on the history of psychology, the average reader can get totally lost. First, loads of information about a theory, then a vague hint that, well, this isn't actually true. Take the chapter on Biological Psychology: 20 pages of its history (and basically where they all got it wrong) followed by 3 pages about modern understanding of the brain (which in reality is most of our understanding). So despite the author continually repeating "impossible to cover such a huge subject in one book" almost in every chapter, there a huge chunks of the book actually about mistaken theory of our past psychologists and so useless to most, if not downright confusing. This is littered with seemingly helpful diagrams, which are not referred to, whole page pictures of ancient psychologists and actually very little useful information. A degree in a book, no. A pretty overview of the history of the subject of psychology, not Psychology itself, yes. A shabby publication.

Boken i sig är bra men den levererades både skadad och med en lång papremsa klistrad på framsidan!!
