I am considering adopting a new text for the Fall semester.....both Lahey's
Essentials of Psychology text and Feldman's Essentials of Understanding
Psychology have come to my attention. They booth look like good candidates
for my intro class at a Bay Area community college. Does anyone on the list
have any feedback for me on these texts?
I would recommend that anyone adopting a new General Psychology text should examine Koenig and Griggs recently updated compendium of introductory psychology texts. It is an excellent resource and it is available for download at the Office for Teaching Resources web site. The following synopsis of this resource appears at the site:
"Considering the large number of introductory psychology texts available, it is difficult for you, the instructor, to be familiar with the full range of options. To assist in your textbook selection process, we have developed this compendium of individualized and comparative information for all 38 psychology texts and the 21 briefer versions of some of these texts with copyright dates between 1999 and 2002. We used this period of time because almost all introductory textbooks are on a three-year revision cycle. A few are on two- or four-year cycles. Thus, this compendium should include all of the texts that are presently viable for your adoption consideration".
