This unique book closes the gap between psychology textbooks and the research that made them possible. Its journey through the “headline history” of psychology presents 40 of the most famous, most influential studies in the history of the science, and subsequent follow-up studies that expanded their findings and relevance. Readers are granted a valuable insider's look at the studies that continue to be cited most frequently, stirred up the most controversy when they were published, sparked the most subsequent related research, opened new fields of psychological exploration, and changed most dramatically man's knowledge of human behavior. Studies examined cover the following areas: biology and human behavior; perception and consciousness; learning and conditioning; intelligence, cognition, and memory; human development; emotion and motivation; personality; psychopathology; psychotherapy; and social psychology. For individuals interested in the evolution of psychological study and its impact on the field.

This book is simply fantastic and here is why:
1) It is written so that the average individual can understand the historical and hypothesis driven factors underlying these key studies
2) I am not in the psychological field, and I found the book a joy to read, and easy to grasp
3)I have had an undergraduate psychology course, and this book was a wonderful refresher of some of the things I heard about, yet provides more detail without being dry and/or uninteresting
4)Multiple psychology fields are presented and the criticisms of each paradigm shifting study are revealed
5) I can re-read select chapters and get something new out each time
It is rare that I find a book that is worth reading again after I have finished it the first time. This is one such rare book, and so I have to say thanks to Roger Hock for providing such a delightful little tome.

This is a great book. If you are an undergraduate, don't sell your book. YOu may think you've heard about these studies and you wouldn't refer back to the book, but I wish I hadn't sold mine. They are the landmark studies that I keep wishing I could use for a paper, and will probably be on the GRE. Little Albert afraid of every furry thing, Bandura's learning through observation, and even some Freud, though he didn't really do any studies and it ticked off my prof that he was in there. I'm now re-buying the book because there have been too many times I've wished I've had it since the class was over a semester ago.
