Psychology

Malott and Whaley's Psychology may be the only general psych book that covers the full range of intro psych topics but all from a rigorous behavior-analytic view without compromise. And though it's intellectually rigorous Malott and Whaley wrote this book so introductory psych students can understand it learn from it and appreciate both general psych and behavior analysis. The authors created an illustrative story line with fictional characters who later play a major role in Malott's Principles of Behavior. Furthermore Edward Badajos' art work may be the most thoughtful creative work in any intro text; and though at first glance it's simply 1970's underground-hip cool and creative in reading the book it will became clear that the art is amazingly illustrative of the behavior-analytic/psychology concepts and story line (yes you have to read it to appreciate it).
