Horizon Textbook Publishing Releases Understanding Psychology (2nd Edition)
Redding, CA (PRWeb) February 9, 2007 -- Horizon Textbook Publishing (http://www.htpublishing.com), the leaders in custom textbook publishing with over 20 years experience, today announced the release of Understanding Psychology, second edition, by R.H. Ettinger. This new edition is available immediately.
This second edition of Understanding Psychology continues to offer students a comprehensive, up-to-date text that is written to illustrate how research contributes to our understanding of human behavior. This revision contains more than 1000 references, over 200 of which were published since the year 2000.
While this text has been extensively revised, some things have not changed. Understanding Psychology continues to show students how questions about behavior lead to scientific experiments, which in turn lead to new understandings. The biological theme that permeates every topic continues to reflect the author's belief that human behavior can be understood in physiological terms.

There is a deep element of psychology whenever someone bluffs at the poker table.
