The 14th edition of Atkinson & Hilgard's Introduction to Psychology marks a new era in this classic introductory psychology textbook. The long-standing authors of the book, Smith, Bem, and Nolen-Hoeksema, are joined by three new authors, Barbara L. Fredrickson and Stephen Maren of the University of Michigan and Geoffrey Loftus of the University of Washington. Fredrickson, Maren, and Loftus bring a fresh new perspective to the text, although they are certainly not new to psychology-all are interna-tionally respected researchers and teachers. Our author team now includes experts who span the broad range of our field, from biological psychology, cognition, and per-ception to social and personality psychology, and from nor-mal development to psychopathology. All of the authors are award-winning researchers who provide authoritative evaluations of the major issues and findings in psychology.
