Mastering the World of Psychology is a briefer paperback version of the text that does more to support student learning than any other introductory psychology text available. It makes the connection between scientific principles and the everyday lives of today's diverse student population.

Now organized around numbered Learning Outcomes, the Third Edition of Mastering the World of Psychology is even better equipped to help readers succeed and to apply their knowledge of psychology to their lives. The SQ3R methodology, wealth of pedagogical features, MyPsychLab resources, and built-in Study Guide and Practice Tests make this the ideal learning and study resource.

I am very pleased with my order of Mastering the World of Psychology, Third Edition. The book was in excellent condition, and after receiving a confirmation e-mail, the book was delivered as promised. I had no problem with the seller. I would absolutely order again, for school books or any other books.

I did not get the book between the given dates, and I already started class before i recieved it. I did appreciate the over-night shipping though. plus the highlighting is really going to help me throughout the class. so thank you.

Just so that it is clear, this particual item does not come with the MyPsychLab Student Activation Code. After talking with Amazon and describing to them that it is mentioned in the write up (which is a simular write up as the  Developmental Mathematics (7th Edition) , but it came with the MyMathLab). Amazon informed me that I had to search for the  Mastering the World of Psychology, Books a la Carte Plus MyPsychLab Pegasus (3rd Edition)  or  Mastering the World of Psychology Value Package (includes MyPsychLab with E-Book Student Access )

I have noticed in other reviews that people where unhappy due to poor used book condition, this is not the point of fact; this was a new purchase, and itshould explain clearly if does or does not come with the MyPsychLab Student Activation Code.

I also want to point out that this review has nothing to do with the content in the book it self, but how some things are described in the Amazon listing. College books are expensive enough with out having to deal with the right product or not. This has been my first (and better be my last) let down from Amazon direct itself. If it was from a store selling in Amazon that is one thing, it is another when it came from the bigs itself.

Thanks a bunch! I got this book for less than a dollar when the third edition would have cost me over $100. It's the same book but the page numbering is a little different than the latter edition. I currently have a A in psych. Thanks again. Quick delivery.
