This classic text emphasizes the science of psychology, with a special focus on applying that science to students' daily lives. Psychology and Life continues to provide a rigorous, research-centered survey of the discipline while offering students special features and learning aids that will spark their interest and excite their imaginations. The seventeenth edition, which has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest cutting-edge research, features a beautiful new design and an updated art program. Psychology and Life is now the sole, premiere text accompanying the Discovering Psychology Telecourse Series. A telecourse faculty guide and student guide to accompany the text are available through Allyn & Bacon
