Review of The Mental Life--A Survey of Modern Experimental Psychology

Abstract

Reviews the book, The Mental Life--A Survey of Modern Experimental Psychology by Christian A. Ruckmick (see record 1928-10293-000 ). This book is a brief account of the elementary facts and principles of psychology. It has been written for elementary courses and for individuals who are not enrolled in college. The book is unusually interesting and readable. It should be examined by all teachers who are giving short elementary courses in psychology. Students in summer schools will welcome the contribution. For the courses covering the academic year the book may find a place as an introductory outline to be used in connection with one or more other texts. Individuals not enrolled in college and teachers who have not devoted much time to the study of psychology will find the book an excellent introductory survey of the subject.
