This book is a joy to read and captures students’ interest in ways other textbooks do not. In today’s world of sound bites and video clips, the humor, clever examples, and carefully chosen illustrations in this book captivate readers and make learning about persuasion accessible. The authors do an excellent job seeking out the most peculiar and intriguing research studies to engage their readers and make learning about persuasion research findings fun!
