Hi Tim
Some older than 2 year items I recommend are: Social Beings: A Core Motives Approach to Social Psychology (Paperback) by Susan T. Fisk and
Rational Choice in an Uncertain World: The Psychology of Judgement and Decision Making by Reid Hastie and Dr. Robyn M. Dawes; the Psychology of Judgment and Decision making by Plous
And also for some newer recommendations...Influence: Science and Practice (5th Edition) (Paperback) 2008 by Robert B. Cialdini

Subject: RE: [tips] Essential Library purchases- information request
To my favorite list of highly informed colleagues!
Our department has somehow not spent our library budget completely (deadline is today!). As I was looking over some of our areas of weakness in the collection, it occurred to me that the collective intelligence and experience of "tips" is a far better source of suggestions than my tiny/fatigued little gray cells! So do any of you have any highly recommended texts in the following areas for the last say year to two that are just MUST PURCHASES for an undergraduate library. If you wish, I could compile a list and do feel free to respond off list. Here are the areas I was looking at:
Social psychology (probably our greatest area of need and one we are least expert in- your help in this one particularly appreciated)
History of psychology
Learning- specifically animal learning
Applied studies on learning/performance (or particularly important basic research in the area of human learning and performance)
Neuropsychology- (brain injury and recovery and sports related in particular)
Forensic psychology
Your thoughts will be much appreciated by me and the department but I suspect even more-so by our students!
