Spring 2012 Textbooks
Copies of all textbooks will be put on reserve at the library, available for 2 hour check out with a valid ID.
Psychology 1:
Psychology, 2nd edition, by Saundra Ciccarelli and J. Noland White, Pearson Publishers
ISBN for regular text: 9780136004288
ISBN for Saddleback College Custom text: 00558260802
Note: The bookstore has the custom version of the textbook. The custom version is exactly the same as the regular text (has all the same chapters), but includes a study guide and a website access code. The custom package is supposed to be offered at a lower price than the retail price of a new copy of the regular textbook by itself. It does not matter which of these two versions you purchase - as long as you get the 2nd edition of this textbook. The study guide and webaccess code are NOT REQUIRED, although some students say it has been helpful.
Want to read ahead? Psych 1 will start with Chapters 1, 2, and 3.
Psychology 3
Biological Psychology, 1st edition, by Stephen B. Klein and B. Michael Thorne, Worth Publishers
ISBN for regular text: 9780716799221
ISBN for Saddleback Custom package: 1429225653
Note: The bookstore has a custom package for the textbook. The custom package includes the regular book plus a CD-Rom and a Study Guide. The custom package was less expensive than just the (new) book by itself! However, the CD-Rom and Study Guide are NOT REQUIRED for the class (the bookstore “recommends” you buy the items, but I don’t care at all – I don’t even know what the study guide looks like!). If you can purchase the book used without the add-ons, please feel free to do so.
Want to read ahead? Psych 3 will start with Chapters 1, 2, and 3.

ISBN: 9780073532080
W-ant to read ahead? Psych 7 will start with Chapters 1, 2, part of 3 (pages 76-90 on Prenatal Development only), 4, and 5.
