Norman, D. (1988) The Design of Everyday Things. New York: Basic Books.
This is a very readable introduction to the relationship between psychology

I found a few more books at home that I thought might be good summer reading
for high school students (at least those who are very interested in psychology

Coren, S. (1996). _Sleep thieves: An eye-openin
Since this is for high school students I'd recommend two:
Stanovich's How to Think STraight About Psychology and
Sagan's Demon-Haunted World.
Both have similar content and themes but, of course, one
is written by a "scientist" :-(

*The Conceptual Nervous System* (1982) ed by H
