Psychology: Making Connections 1st Edition by Gregory Feist (PDF)

Description

Connect with science. Connect with students. Connect with Feist and Rosenberg’s Psychology. In Psychology: Making Connections, Greg Feist and Erika Rosenberg provide the tools for students to make meaningful connections with the material encompassed in Introductory Psychology while still presenting psychology as a scientific endeavor. With its focus on connections, Feist helps your students to understand both the discipline and concepts of psychology as well as psychology’s relevance to their lives. Feist provides you with the science you are seeking while bringing it alive for your students in an accessible way. By challenging students to make connections between what they are reading and learning about in class and the world around them outside the classroom, Psychology: Making Connections fosters students’ critical thinking skills. At the same time, the authors consistently reinforce the idea that science is a process and not just a collection of resulting outcomes to be memorized. In doing so, they bring to life the names and experiments on the page and vividly illustrate the human element in the scientific method.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐It’s basically a good overview jumping off point to get a Human services student such as myself started in the right direction to become a good overall counselor/case manager.My dislike is that it still hangs on to the dead theory of evolution. (See the document of Dissension) while calling Intelligent design or Creation pseudo-science. Then in the same book claiming that to be a Real scientist you should unquestionably be skeptical and not just accept the so called authorities on the subject. The document of Dissension is a large group of PH.D Scientist and growing who are simply tired of flogging a dead horse aka any of the old or new theories of Evolution. They are not saying they believe in God and creation just that evolution basically doesn’t work because there are too many creatures from microbial to large mammals that at some point along the so called evolution of whatever creature would have to instantaneously develop multiple intricately designed body parts or the creature would have self-destructed.I do believe in God, but even if I did not, scientifically from my investigations and reading the far more indepth investigations of others into Evolution it simply is not viable. I do think various classes or families of species can adapt and change according to environment a great deal, but not jump to an entire different category. For example all horse type creatures changing into some variation of another horse, donkey, zebra whatever, but not a fish into a mammal or reptile into a bird.

⭐The authors of this textbook really made my first psychology class a truly enjoyable experience. I went into the class just wanting to get one of my requirements out of the way, but the text was so engaging that I found myself actually enjoying the class. We did only use chapters 1-9, but I found the “making connections” to the real world sections in each chapter very interesting. They referenced many important and noteworthy studies, and the focus on the connection between the brain and its structures/functions to the study of psychology was absolutely fascinating. I ran into only one or two typos in the entire 9 chapters that we read, which in my experience is excellent!I think it is important to note that I did not experience the problems another reviewer had with duplicate and missing pages. I wonder if he purchased the book used and it was an outdated version? I don’t think this is a wide spread problem at all.Also, the publisher has a companion website set-up that can be used as a study aide…just Google “psychology making connections” and the McGraw Hill site should be one of the first selections available. I used the website for quick reviews when I was on a lunch break at work.(I think there is some confusion among reviewers, and this text should actually be ranked at a higher rating than it is currently. Reviewers: Please select the option to leave “Seller Feedback” if you want to leave a review on book condition/packaging. Complaints of that nature do not belong in this area. This is for book content, not condition.)

⭐The only difference I noticed between this book and the version specifically printed for my school is a few updated images(and of course the cover). All the content is accurate and it was $400 cheaper. It includes: the introduction to psychology, conducting research in psychology, the biology of behavior, sensing and perceiving our world; human development; consciousness; memory; learning; language and thought; intelligence, problem solving and creativity; motivation and emotion; stress and health; personality:the uniqueness; social behavior; psychological disorders; and the treatment of psychological disorders.

⭐I had to have this book for a summer class I was taking, and where I go to school you have to buy your summer books out of your pocket. I bought this book for $100 less than what my book store was asking and it was the same book and in brand new condition. I actually read through some parts of it just because it was interesting, not because I had to.

⭐I was forced to buy this book for school. I was forced to get this book for school. It’s a pretty interesting read, I’m glad I got it so cheap because I only used it once.

⭐Its great and good condition. I dont regret buying this book!!! After i am finished using this book , I will put it back on the market!!

⭐At first I was hesitant to buy this book used from amazon but as soon as I got it from the mail, which was pretty fast, I have to say it was just like new. No highlights, no noticeable scratches and no missing pages. I highly recommend this

⭐Everything was fine with the book. It’s in great condition, it arrived faster than I had anticipated.

⭐Awesome
