Psychology for the Third Millennium

For this advanced undergraduate textbook for more prepared students, HarrAc and Moghaddam, both of Georgetown University, gather contributors in psychology and social psychology to explore emerging areas in the field. Part 1 overviews the ideas behind the principles and methods of psychoneurology, cultural/discursive psychology, neuroscience, and genetic/evolutionary psychology. Part 2 provides applications and illustrations of these ideas in areas such as perception, memory, motivation, emotions, personality, and diversity in a global context. Boxes on key thinkers in psychology and philosophy are included in every chapter. The text can be used for courses in general psychology, the philosophy of psychology, social psychology, and cognitive science. Annotation Ac2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
