Intro psyc book that raises the bar February 6, 2007

I used this for an intro to psychology class. I quickly got interested in it and noticed how straight to the point everything is. After all was said and done, I think this has to be the psyc book everyone should own. I get to rent textbooks from the university, but this one I'm buying sometime soon... just now there's a new edition out (can't be too much different though... like 7 month gap between editions???). BTW, I'm a physics/EE major... junior.
This textbook is very clear and concise. It's brief, but very detailed... explains the experiments relating to each topic very well. There are so many side "comics," as someone said, which are pretty cool... they keep you thinking in the right direction, make it fun, and shows me that this book is very future-minded. The "comics" are definitely extra stuff, though, and I wouldn't judge it on them alone.
I really enjoyed the class mainly because of this book. I was taking the same class but dropped it because I was in the hospital and missed weeks of class... so I did it the next semester and got to use this book (so happy I found this book). This book is way better than the other one (Psychology in Perspective by Tavris). So much better it makes me upset. I hope others find this one enjoyable. If using a "lame" textbook for a psyc class and feel it's disorganized or some things are missing... check this one out.

...hmmm, I'm at a desk, it's quiet, there are words in front of me, I'm trying to study. . . but then, why is David Myers sitting beside me like a little dog, urinating on the rug?
Yes. Book is a good text. I will admit it. But personally, when I'm studying I'm not trying to make a new friend. Its cartoons, jokes,oddities, and "april fools day" antics serve only to foster ineffective studying. There should be a professor organization who pickets when he raises his pen.
If some students LIKE the distractions Myers puts in place, then I would expect that they should also want to put a peanuts strip in the middle of Hamlet too.
The modulated version? We've have all read plenty of textbooks. Does David Myers think that HE is going to revolutionize the textbook industry? So, instead of reading chapters which are, what he calls in his preface "too long", students can read shorter, more comprehensible "modules". Ok! I get it. But... now you've got to read six modules instead of one chapter. Alright, well why don't we just reduce Proust's seven volume novel "In Search of Lost Time" into a bunch of comic strips and make it standard 4th grade reading!
This IS a good text. But when you take an intro Psych. course at the end of which you can stage a biography about David Myers, something is up.
