Books by David Myers

In Psychology in Modules, David Myers and Nathan DeWall break down the content of their chapter-based Psychology into 55 independent modules, assignable in any sequence and brief enough to be read in one sitting. In this remarkably fresh and current new edition, Myers and DeWall have found extraordinarily effective ways to involve students with the remarkable research underlying our understanding of human behaviour. The text itself continues to be shaped by goals David Myers established at the outset. These were to connect students to high-impact research, to focus on developing critical thinking skills, and to present a multicultural perspective on psychology, so students can see themselves in the context of a wider world. This new edition offers 2100 research citations dated 2015-2020. With so many exciting new findings, students will see the importance and value of psychological research, and how psychology can help them make sense of the world around them.

Why would a ten-year-old tomcat, living the easy life of a family pet, leave all behind to follow a mysterious stray on a quest to save other cats? Why would he risk life and safety when the chances of success are all too slim? These are the questions that Scratcher cannot answer without following Jackson, the train-hopping tom who enters his life one summer afternoon. By all appearances, Jackson is just another cat who takes shelter with a neighborhood woman. But as days pass, Scratcher and his friend, Tiger, learn that Jackson is no regular stray. Greatness seems to shadow him. When Jackson tells him one evening that he must return to the road to look for ones he left behind, ones who are in danger, Scratcher cannot refuse the call of the open road and the adventure that lies ahead.Told in the person of Scratcher, A Prophecy of Snow opens the door upon a world that human beings have never seen and perhaps never imagined, a world uniquely feline, where cats vie for their portion of the world with greed, ferocity, and honor.
