In Psychology: Making Connections, Greg Feist and Erika Rosenberg provide the tools for students to make meaningful connections with the material while still presenting psychology as a scientific endeavor. With its focus on connections, the text helps students to understand both the discipline and concepts of psychology as well as psychology's relevance to their lives.
The authors consistently reinforce the idea that science is a process and not just a collection of resulting outcomes to be memorized. In doing so, they bring to life the names and experiments on the page and vividly illustrate the human element in the scientific method.
