In regards to the auction: Item exactly as described, Fast Shipping, Overall Happy with transaction!! I would recommend.In regards to the book: This book has been so much better than the required reading for Psychology 150 (101 for some), This book is user friendly. The language is easy to understand, the information is well organized, the end of chapter tests & summaries are also very helpful. My only complaint with this book which I suppose has more to do with the publisher is the inability to use the "My Psych Lab" tool. I feel that I spent extra money for this copy of the book because I wanted to be able to use the "My Psych Lab" tool and I am not able to do so. I feel like I spent more money than was necessary and these books are so very expensive to begin with so BUYER BEWARE!!! If you can ask your instructor ahead of time about the "My Psych Lab" tool I would because if I were able to go back & purchase this book again I certainly would not spend the extra money for this particular copy.

One of the biggest nightmares of attending college has to be finding and buying the books you need. has made the process much simpler. As soion as we get our required reading list we hit and get the books, usually before our classmates

You can buy the same exact information in the 2nd edition and save over 100$ I bought the second edition for my human development course even though this book was prescribed and I currently have a 100 in the course. Don't pay more for the newest edition of the same information.

I purchased the book as a required text for a college class. I searched different avenues for this book and even for rentals, but this was the best price. The book was in the exact condition as described. The book arrived before the expected arrival date and in a nice safe package. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and the honesty of the seller.

The book covers the subject in a clear and easy way to understand lifespan from conception through dead. Very good text!!

I have to say that I was completely satisfied with this product. I was not able to afford the regular price but thanks to I got this text for a very low affordable price. It was shipped to me earlier than expected which made me even happier: What more can a student ask for? Thanks!

I really like the way that the author(s) have layed out this text. I find it very easy to comprehend and review material. The examples and pictures are wonderful. Most of all I love the bonus side stories that coincide with each topic. Would definitely recommend the use of this book.

Easy to understand, great graphics - like tables and charts, to illustrate key points. Mid-chapter checkpoints help students make sure they are grasping material.
