Review:

Praise for the second edition:'An excellent core text ... it covers the specification brilliantly and I like the question and sample answers' section.' Sarah Sawyer, Head of Psychology, St Augustine's Catholic College'... I came out with a high A grade which I honestly didn't expect, and which is the result of studying your excellent book ... [It] was clear, explained everything in a way in which I could understand, and somehow many facts and quotes just stuck in my head... the book was just a pleasure to study from ...
