My favorite is still Mynatt & Doherty's _Understanding Human Behavior_
-- especially the first edition.
But as far as I know, I'm the only person in the world who likes that
text. I like it because it has small, focused chapters centered around
empirical generalizations, and the chapters themselves are the evidence
for the generalization. Little theory, gobs of data and research. Few
pictures, but tons of figures. There was no Freud in the first edition.
I really liked it. But I think I'm deviant....

Dave Myers'. Excellent writing, lots of multicultural
information, classic as well as current research, thought-provoking
questions and comments, interesting stories accompanied by vivid
storytelling, fun and helpful photos and drawings, and the very best
Instructor's Resource Manual and extra materials that I've ever
received.
