A good crash course on psychology January 9, 2009
This book is a great crash course into the studies that made psychology famous (infamous?). For psychology students, most of these stories will be familiar, but they are delved into in good detail with the hindsight that only time can give you. A great reference book for those in and not in the field.

I'm a psych major in college, so I naturally enjoyed reading about these important studies. However, I think anyone could enjoy this book. It's very readable and covers crucial research from all areas of psychology. Read about one study or all forty; this is a great book!br /

A great book for any psychology student (or fan!) October 27, 2007
This book does an excellent job of summarizing the most important contributions of psychological research in its relatively young history. As a psychology professor, I plan to use this book in the classroom -- many of my colleagues already do. It gives students a great history lesson and also familiarizes them with past and current theories in the field of psychology. We especially love how the author includes more recent studies that have resulted from the original 40 studies -- current directions, so to speak. Great book!
