Historical and Conceptual Issues in Psychology Reviews
-
Oli harvinaisen kivuliasta lukea peruskoulutasoista kertausta länsimaisen tieteen historiasta ensimmäiset 120 sivua kirjasta. On outoa, että kirja tuntui olettavan, että lukija ei ole tuttu millään tapaa esim. Aristoteleen, Newtonin tai Darwinin kanssa. Yhtä kivuliasta oli lukea kertausta yleisistä tieteen tekemisen periaatteista yli 100 sivua. Sisältö parani loppuluvuissa, mutta olsin mielelläni lukenut tenttiä varten jotain relevantimmalta tuntuvaa teosta.

Enjoyed the way this history of psychology was presented in an original and thought provoking way, and how it takes you from before 6000 BCE up until today's pressing issues
