Purchase options and add-ons

Well-grounded in the history of the field, Motivation combines classic studies with current research, while promoting the idea that motivation stems from physiological states, psychological motives, and environmental incentives and goals.

Motivation provides an overarching organizational scheme of how motivation (the inducement of action, feelings, and thought) leads to behavior from physiological, psychological, and environmental sources. The material draws on topics that are familiar to students while maintaining a conversational tone to sustain student interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Emotions
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2012

This textbook is great. I am no expert on the subject of motivation, but reading this helped me grasp several concepts I was unaware of. I am a highly motivated individual to begin with so the class I was in that required this textbook was fabulous. I would recommend this book even without the class. It explains a great deal about behaviors, incentives, and why people do what they do.

The only negative thing I have to say is that the web links listed throughout the book are already out of date. Most of them don't go anywhere except an error page. That was kind of annoying.

First, I'd like to ask Amazon why they always send me a second request to review products I've purchased. I have already reviewed this product once at Amazon's request. In any event, I am very happy with the textbook I purchased. It was labeled as 'used,' yet it arrived quickly and it was in pristine condition. I'm very pleased about that for a book that was supposed to have been used. It was like brand new.
I would definitely use this bookseller again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A surprising good read.
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2009

I got this as a college book required for a class and it turns out to be very well written, easily understood, and surprisingly easy to read. It covers all past and present theories of motivation and the final two chapters deal with emotions, because emotions are still difficult to explain even by professionals. Overall, a good buy.

The man who wrote this book was my professor, and how the book is written is exactly how he teaches: simple and to the point.I would recommend there being more up-to-date examples in the book to make it easier for students to grasp the concepts, but overall the book teaches exactly what it says in the title.

Text book was in great shape and I really appreciate the quick mailing - I needed it for the class I was in and having it made a world of difference - online textbooks just do not work for me.

I would love to leave a review for this product but unfortunately I have not received it and am getting the run around about how long it takes via USPS from the seller. I would recommend that you have at least 2 month before you need the product before you consider buying from an AMAZON seller.
