About the Book

Mastering the World of Psychology is an interactive learning text that teaches students psychology by showing them how to apply it to their lives. A good psychology textbook must communicate clearly to its diverse audience. Mastering the World of Psychology is appealing to accomplished students, yet accessible to students whose academic skills are yet to be fully developed. Mastering recognizes that different students have different learning styles and addresses that challenge by offering a wide variety of pedagogical support tools that will help students succeed. No book on the market does more to help students get better grades than Mastering the World of Psychology.
