Every now and again I intend to feature some recommended reading for anybody interested in exploring psychology. Each book will have appreared on the essential/recommended reading list I gave out to my undergraduate psychology students, and it will be one that I own, have read and found thoroughly engaging. The first book in this exploring psychology series is:

Forty Studies that Changed Psychology: Explorations into the History of Psychological Research by Roger R. Hock



Book Description

This unique book closes the gap between psychology books and the research that made them possible. Its journey through the “headline history” of psychology presents 40 of the most famous 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 our knowledge of human behavior. For individuals with an interest in an introduction to psychology.
