Media Reviews
The book captures the important sense of wonder about psychology.... It manages to emphasize the importance of skepticism and science while all the while keeping an eye on the bigger picture. This book makes a significant contribution to the standing of psychology by reaching out in a very appealing way to a wide audience. - Elizabeth F. Loftus, distinguished Professor, University of California, Irvine
It is an excellent resource and one that many students and teachers will return to again and again. - Pia Lee-Wilson, University of East London
This book is a truly excellent resource which will be invaluable to anyone taking OCR AS Psychology. It is well written, well organised, comprehensive, and easy to read. I just wish it had been available when I was a student! In short, a must-have and a must-read. - Professor Mark Griffiths, Psychology Division, Nottingham Trent University.
This thoroughly engaging book provides the student with a comprehensive guide to AS-Level Psychology. Accurate, accessible, and even challenging, this visually stunning textbook will suit all types of learners and enable them to succeed in their exams. Rarely does a textbook tick so many boxes. My students will love it. - Mark Holah, Head of Psychology, Wyke Sixth Form College.
'This new edition is an excellent resource for the delivery of the new OCR specification. Its lively and colourful presentation makes it highly accessible to students and its broad background and extension material means it is invaluable to teachers seeking to plan engaging delivery of its Core Studies in a modern context. Exam-style questions with guidance and `quickie' quiz questions help students develop their skills and the varied activities, related research and website suggestions provide useful material for differentiation. An all-round winner!' - Anna Ross, Psychology Course Team Leader, Long Road Sixth Form College
Praise for the first edition:

The book's overwhelming visual appeal, logical formatting, accuracy, psychological insight and inspiration should all guarantee its success.' - Beth Black, former senior examiner and teacher, Long Road Sixth Form College
'I think this a fascinating and wonderful book. The students will love it and so will the teachers.' - Diana Dwyer, Head of Psychology, Joseph Whitaker School, Rainworth

Author's Bio
Cara Flanagan is an experienced teacher and senior A level examiner. She has written a range of articles and textbooks for A level psychology students, and regularly speaks at student conferences and teacher INSET courses. She edits the Routledge Modular Psychology Series with Phil Banyard. In her spare time she is the proud mother of three children who kindly tolerate her incessant working, which includes taking her laptop on holiday, much to Phil's bemusement. Phil Banyard is Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Nottingham Trent University. He has been involved in GCSE and A Level psychology for more years than he can count and has marked more exam papers than he has brain cells left. It is testament to medical science that he still teaches, writes texts and ties his own shoes. His continued support of Nottingham Forest shows extreme loyalty or lack of imagination depending on your point of view.
