The 5th Australian and New Zealand edition of Psychology, 5th Australian and New Zealand Edition (Burton et al.) enables every introductory psychology student to master the basic concepts of Psychology through proven pedagogy and meaningful ‘tales from the front’ videos with practicing psychologists, and will not only provide you with the knowledge you need for your course, but will also become a go-to text throughout your degree.
