內容介紹：
This text highlights the importance of critical thinking and the inclusion of culture and gender in the science of psychology.
Wade/Tavris, Invitation to Psychology, 5/e uses lively writing and stimulating examples to invite students to actively explore the field of psychology and the fundamentals of critical and scientific thinking. Invitation to Psychology presents the science of psychology according to six areas of the student's experience: Your Self, Your Body, Your Mind, Your Environment, Your Mental Health, and Your Life. This unique organization engages students from the very beginning and gives them a framework for thinking about human behavior. Hallmark features of this best-selling introductory text include active learning features, an emphasis on critical thinking, a balance of classic and contemporary research, and thorough integration of culture and gender.
引用這本書我還沒看過多少，不過其內容之豐富，插圖之精美是無疑的了。
不過至於嗎，amazon裡Paperback要賣到100美刀，天朝分店Paperback3.9折，賣330，Hardcover還要1026。。
此書已出到第10版，看到第5版評價為3星，原來是評價兩極分化，我推測（僅僅是推測，因為我只看了10個版本中的一版的三個評論）
評5星的大概是（或大部分）和我一樣，初次看到此書，不自覺地鼠軀一震呀。評1星的則說此書 不夠言簡意赅等等，但你有沒有想過這只是入門書呀。我想，既然能出到第10版，來頭也不小吧，雖然貌似只有10來個人買。。。（每個版本都差不多上下）太貴了。。還是去買used的了，有127待售的說。。
咳，看完此書，不管哲學會不會，反正英語是會了。而且。。。。。。不要錢！（這念頭是不是有點壞。ps：限於長度，只放兩圖，其余大家上amazon搜搜就能看到了。）
還有就是大家下書前好好地看看序吧，也是我覺得重要才不嫌麻煩截圖上傳的。（額，這次的英文是小了點）
