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

MyPsychLab
MyPsychLab is an exciting new learning and teaching tool designed to increase student success in the classroom, and quickly and easily give instructors access to every imaginable resource needed to teach and administer an introductory psychology course-all housed in one rich site.
MyPsychLab will help students learn, and will save instructors time! And, it's easy to use…
Learning in Context For Students!
MyPsychLab is built on the strength of learning in context. Students actually use the e-book-in exactly the same layout as the printed version-to launch multimedia resources such as animations, video clips, audio explanations, and activities, and profiles of prominent psychologists.
Bring Learning to Life with Simulations!
Visual learning enhances test scores; students will test better after not only reading about psychological material, but actually seeing the concept come to life with the help of multimedia. At the center of MyPsychLab are highly interactive simulations that let students experience psychological phenomena for themselves, which include visual illusions, cognitive maps, memory retrieval, concept formation using prototypes, and more.
Know what to you need to study!
MyPsychLab provides students with multiple structured testing and quizzing opportunities within each chapter to reinforce concepts presented. Results from these assessments then generate an Individualized Study Plan, which allows students to pinpoint exactly where additional study and review is needed.
Additional help always available!
Do students still need additional assistance studying and completing assignments? MyPsychLab also offers students access to The Tutor Center, a free, one on one tutoring service during afternoon and evening hours, and Research Navigator, Pearson Education's online database of academic journals.
And, MyPsychLab is easy to use!
MyPsychLab is a turn-key solution; instructors can spend as much or as little time as they'd like customizing their course; our content is pre-loaded and ready to use. All instructor resources are aggregated in one easy to navigate place, available 24/7. With the click of a mouse, professors have access to the test item file, class grade book, PowerPoint lectures, lecture outlines, and more!
