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.
