Introducing Psychology: A Graphic Guide by Nigel Benson - Paperback

Es ist nicht sehr detailreich, jedoch um sich geschwind englisches Vokabular zuzulegen ist es genau richtig. Es gibt einen allgemeinen Einblick in die Psychologie und durch die comic-artige Bildbegleitung ist es gut verständlich und lässt sich flott lesen. Die Begriffe sind einprägsam und das Preis-Leistungsverhalten ist ideal. Allerdings ist es eher ein (und zwar vor allem: ein sehr kreatives, amüsantes) Werk, das eher zusätzlich zur Fachliteratur behilflich ist außer man möchte nur einen kurzen Ausflug in die Psychologie unternehmen.

This has to be by far the best i've read in the Introducing series. I wouldn't have classed myself as a book worm until I began reading this, once I started I couldn't stop. With that being said I'm a layman in psychology so I'm not sure if this book covers everything that needs to be covered. But speaking as a layman I felt this book was very informative and gave me a basic overview into the world of psychology.

Good intro to psych book. The pictures and cartoons help to break the concepts down. Great for visual learners!

A good introduction to the fundamental concepts and notable people of psychology. Some concepts and persons are given short shrift to accommodate the briefness of the book. This includes the structure of the brain and nervous system, a major part of the biological and structural schools of psychology. It is a fast read and should help students preparing for an introductory class. Note: After only a few weeks the book has begun to fall apart. The binding has begun to fail and pages are coming loose.

A good book to learn the most important basics of psychology easily, but you won't get deeper information, because this is rather a comic-book with pictures and cartoons on every page and so it's great fun to read it.
