Description
For introductory psychology courses at two or four year colleges or universities.
The VangoBooks edition by Lefton/Brannon was created with the philosophy of quality over quantity. PsychologyVangoBook contains the same active learning emphasis of the 9th edition of Lefton/Brannon but can be read in less time than a traditional text. At about half the cost of a traditional book, it will not break a student's budget and it will still cover the essential concepts of Psychology necessary for an introductory course.
Lefton/Brannon reinforce the need for students to be active in their own learning process. Students are encouraged to become active members, along with their instructors, in the goal to understand, learn, and apply psychological methods and principles in their daily lives and in the world around them.
The Psychology Vangobook is available with many ancillaries including MyPsychKit. This electronic supplement offers book-specific learning objectives, chapter summaries, flashcards and practice tests, video clips and activities to aid student learning and comprehension as well as access to Pearson's Research Navigator.
