  In the new edition of his best-selling text, Goldstein offers balanced coverage of all the senses, a strong visual presentation, and the attention to accuracy and scholarship that has made this book a highly respected classroom learning tool. Users have found that Goldstein's narrative style that tells the story of sensation and perception has been effective in helping students understand and master the material. And, unlike many texts for the course, Goldstein integrates coverage of the various senses (when appropriate), showing how they work together, rather than presenting them in isolation.

  With balanced coverage of all the senses, this volume offers a comprehensive examination of sensation and perception. By looking into how all the senses work together, Goldstein is able to show readers how seemingly simple experiences are actually extremely complex reactions. The author examines both the psychophysical and physiological underpinnings of perception, presenting both in a way students should find interesting and easy to follow. Also included are hands-on demonstrations, providing perceptual experiences that illustrate some of the principles discussed in the text.
