No other introductory psychology text does a better job evoking the "eureka effectg"--the feeling you get when the lightbulb turns on and you suddenly understand.

Users have consistently praised PSYCHOLOGY IN ACTION for its outstanding pedagogy,  accessible presentation, and balanced coverage. Take a look at what reviews are saying:

• "The author's writing style was stimulating, clear and understandable...I also appreciate the author's sense of humor, Understandable, yes, Engaging, absolutely"—MICHELLE MERVIN, University of Tennessee, Martin

Now thoroughly revised, updated, and enhanced, the new Sixth Edition of PSYCHOLOGY IN ACTION   builds upon the success of Huffman's active-learning approach, while expanding coverage in cutting-edge areas, such as neuroscience, biology, and genetics. The Sixth Edition also features an improved pedagogical design and art program, and more coverage of gender and cultural diversity.
