review: Editorial Reviews Review Psychology: From Inquiry to Understanding is the best text on the market to provide students with the tools to become sophisticated consumers of information. -Mark Holder- University of British Columbia I think that this is the best intro book on the market and there isn’t much I would recommend. The combination of appropriate-level information, engaging pictures and diagrams, critical thinking theme, and overall design are hard to beat. -Trevor Hamilton- MacEwan University About the Author Scott O.
