Psychology : Themes and Variations, Briefer Version

In this concise, paperbound adaptation of his best-selling text, Wayne Weiten offers students a book that is visually stunning, conceptually integrated, scientifically sound, and fun to read. In revising the Third Edition, Weiten collaborated with a team of 14 professors who made suggestions regarding "what to leave in and what to take out" of the longer Third Edition text. Working through the book sentence by sentence, Weiten compressed and simplified coverage to achieve a book approximately 210 pages shorter than the full-length text. Rewritten-rather than reassembled through "cut and paste" procedures-this edition of the Briefer Version is theoretically balanced, easy to understand, and offers concise yet thorough coverage of the major topics and controversies found in longer, more difficult texts. As one pre-publication reviewer noted, "It may be brief and relatively simple, but it's 'all meat.'"
