students, the book to cover most issues well (haven't seen the latest
edition.....maybe there's more multicultural info?), and it was my preference
when I was teaching last year.

The book is well balanced between meeting a student's needs for learning tools and meeting an instructor's needs for inclusiveness. I've compared it to quite a few others and, apart from the fact that in spots Dave Myers comes across as a bit more "conservative" in his views (not his psychology--only his presentation of some examples), the text comes off as far more "learning centered" than most. In addition the very extensive Instructor's resources provide a great number of valuable tools for teaching Intro students. I've used various editions of this text since I started teaching (come to think of it, my _own_ first text in Psychology was the same book in the first edition!) and the new edition (which I'll be using for the first time this term) is by far the best yet. Besides, if it doesn't work for you, you can berate the author here in TIPS--Dave Myers is a long time member of the list! :-) Hope it helps, Rick -- Rick Adams [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Social Sciences Jackson Community College Jackson, Michigan
