Summary: Amazingly fun
Comment: It's really quite surprising just how FUN it can be to read about a seemingly boring subject - the history of psychology. This book provides the context for 40 of the most important developments in the study of how the mind works, along with the procedures, results, and critisism, in a very easy-to-read format.

Rating: 5
Summary: A must have for those even remotely interested in psychology
Comment: This book is simply fantastic and here is why:
1) It is written so that the average individual can understand the historical and hypothesis driven factors underlying these key studies
2) I am not in the psychological field, and I found the book a joy to read, and easy to grasp
3)I have had an undergraduate psychology course, and this book was a wonderful refresher of some of the things I heard about, yet provides more detail without being dry and/or uninteresting
4)Multiple psychology fields are presented and the criticisms of each paradigm shifting study are revealed
5) I can re-read select chapters and get something new out each time

It is rare that I find a book that is worth reading again after I have finished it the first time. This is one such rare book, and so I have to say thanks to Roger Hock for providing such a delightful little tome.

Summary: A must read for students of introductory psychology
Comment: I read this book when I took Introduction to Psychology several years ago, and now I use it in the classes I teach. It's a wonderful collection of classic studies organized by topic. The original articles have been edited, so that they are easy for the beginning student to read. This book is a great way to introduce the science of psychology to students.
