Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introductory Psychology in Modules: Understanding Our Heads, Hearts, and Hands is a unique and comprehensive textbook that offers an accessible, engaging introduction to the key topics of psychology through thirty-six modules that facilitate more focused, interactive learning. Each of the thirty-six modules features an essay on a specific psychology topic--including memory and cognition, human development, clinical psychology, and applied psychology--that stimulate focused critical thinking. Augmenting the essays are supplementary hands-on activities and group discussion proposals, and the modules conclude with multiple-choice practice quizzes for students. These, along with the heavy use of anecdotes, will engage students in active, participatory learning and encourage them to understand and interact with the content of the essays. The modular format allows for instructors to personalize the order of topics covered, as well as skip certain topics and custom-build their own courses on introductory psychology. By covering the classic theories, research, and contemporary findings that every student in psychology should study in digestible, focused modules, Introductory Psychology in Modules is an essential core textbook for all students taking introductory psychology courses. Additionally, the specified modular format allows for this text to be used for supplementary reading where critical thinking is required to aid students in related areas, including nursing, medicine, social work, policing, and sociology.

It consists of 36 short modules that keep students engaged with humor, a narrative style, and hands-on activities that facilitate interactive learning and critical thinking.

This truly modular format – ideal for both face to face and virtual learning – makes it easy for instructors to customize their readings and assign exactly what they wish to emphasize.

By covering both classic and contemporary topics, this book will delight students and instructors alike. The modular format also makes this a useful supplementary text for classes in nursing, medicine, social work, policing, and sociology.

Book excerpt: This book is designed to help students organize their thinking about psychology at a conceptual level. The focus on behaviour and empiricism has produced a text that is better organized, has fewer chapters, and is somewhat shorter than many of the leading books. The beginning of each section includes learning objectives; throughout the body of each section are key terms in bold followed by their definitions in italics; key takeaways, and exercises and critical thinking activities end each section.

Book excerpt: The new edition of Exploring Psychology in Modules offers outstanding currency on the research, practice, and teaching of psychology. Myers and DeWall inspire students with fascinating findings and applications, effective new study tools and technologies, and a compassionate and compelling storytelling voice. Their presentation is based on the same guiding principles behind the entire family of textbooks that have made David Myers the world’s bestselling introductory psychology author: Facilitate learning by teaching critical thinking and helping students at every step. Present psychology as a science, emphasizing the process of inquiry and putting facts in the service of concepts. Make sure students come away with an appreciation of psychology’s big ideas, and with a deeper respect for humanity—what drives us, distinguishes us, unifies us. This Exploring Psychology in Modules is the first to include Myers’ handpicked co-author. Nathan DeWall shares Myers’ belief that instilling a sense of curiosity and inquiry about psychological science is an effective way to help students navigate the content, think critically, and prepare for a lifetime of learning and living. The extraordinary, longtime Myers ancillary author team is also here—a group whose teamwork, consistency, and commitment again sets the industry standard for instructor and student supplements. The high quality that consistently sets Myers’ ancillaries apart sees a new incarnation in LaunchPad. This course space organizes all the book’s digital resources in an online format that makes it easier for instructors to teach, track, and assess their students. This text offers the content organized in 45, student-friendly modules, assignable in any sequence and brief enough to be read in one sitting. Students digest material better when they process it in smaller chunks—as spaced rather than massed practice—and instructors often appreciate the flexibility of assigning any modules in any order.

Book excerpt: In Psychology, Thirteenth Edition in Modules, David Myers and Nathan DeWall break down the content of the new edition of their chapter-based Psychology into 55 independent modules, assignable in any sequence and brief enough to be read in one sitting. This flexible format is favored by a wide range of students and instructors, and supported by research showing that students working with shorter reading assignments are better able to retain the concepts. From its beginnings to this remarkably fresh and current new edition, Myers and DeWall have found extraordinarily effective ways to involve students with the remarkable research underlying our understanding of human behavior. But while the content and learning support evolves edition after edition, the text itself continues to be shaped by basic goals David Myers established at the outset, including to connect students to high-impact research, to focus on developing critical thinking skills, and to present a multicultural perspective on psychology, so students can see themselves in the context of a wider world. This new edition offers 2100 research citations dated 2015–2020, making these the most up-to-date introductory psychology course resources available. With so many exciting new findings, and every chapter updated with current new examples and ideas, students will see the importance and value of psychological research, and how psychology can help them make sense of the world around them. The abundant, high quality teaching and learning resources in LaunchPad and in Achieve Read & Practice, carefully matched to the text content, help students succeed, while making life easier and more enjoyable for instructors.
