{"product_id":"9780826195692","title":"History of Psychology 101","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book's great strength is the way it weaves psychology between events and trends in society. It shows that psychology isn't separate, watching through a one-way mirror, but that psychology and society are threads woven together in the same tapestry. Key theories and 'big names' fit into a story that makes sense, and become more human than legend... The writing style is clear and direct; I found myself looking forward to each chapter... [A] highly informative book that would benefit students, psychologists and aspiring psychologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Dr. Francis Quinn, Robert Gordon University\n\u003cbr\u003e The Psychologist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This slim volume would be a wonderful accompaniment to a traditional text.
