What the Face Reveals
While we have known for centuries that facial expressions can reveal what people are thinking and feeling, it is only recently that the face has been studied scientifically for what it can tell us about internal states, social behavior, and psychopathology.

Psychology: Evaluating Connections
The 2nd Canadian edition of Feist et al. Psychology provides a contemporary, Canadian, critical, and research-oriented introduction to Psychology. Believing that the study of Psychology should not be passive or inaccessible, our authors focused on the theme of Evaluating Connections to make science intriguing and engaging for students. The focus on connections reinforces that Psychology is an integrated science and not just a collection of resulting outcomes to be memorized, thereby bringing the concepts to life. The focus on critical analysis empowers students to not believe everything they think, and to dig for deeper understanding and challenge their assumptions. Our interactive online resources, Connect with Smartbook only bolster Feist's ability to bring Psychology to life and improve student comprehension and engagement.
