Psych 101: Psychology Facts, Basics, Statistics,… di Paul Kleinman
This was interesting but not what I expected. I thought I was getting an introductory text like you might expect if you enrolled in a college level course on Psychology. What you actually get are a bunch of bio's on famous psychologists and a few chapters dealing with interesting tests, experiments and psychological problems.
The only problem I have with this book is that he didn't say goodbye at the end. I've been living with this book for about 8 months and then it just ended. I felt like I had woken up in the morning and girl I had been with the night before had left without waking me or saying goodbye (and she didn't even leave $100 on the nightstand like they normally do).
Okay so it wasn't that bad and to tell the truth I did have other problems with this book. At some point the math got too "mathy". It ended up in the realm where really only math-nuts were going to enjoy reading the entries or have a chance of understanding them. Some of the science got too "sciencey" for me sometimes but much less than the math.
This really is the perfect bathroom book, the entries are short and you can just skip the parts you're not interested in. The history sections now have me wanting to watch documentaries about Vietnam, the Israel/Pakistan situation, Harry Houdini, and a couple other topics. Of course this makes me feel like I must be getting really old but if the History Channel is good enough for Henry Rollins it's good enough for me.
If you read in the bathroom or any place else for very short periods of time, and you're interested in "stuff", this book is for you.… (altro)
