It really is an excellent, broad-ranging book, whose clear discussion of differing approaches should appeal to undergraduates of psychology. But make no mistake: this new edition, just like the previous ones, is so much more than a textbook. It contains an important, underlying argument about the social nature of thinking.′ -- Michael Billig\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e′This is a remarkably sophisticated and insightful examination of social cognitive, social identity, social representations, and discursive approaches to social psychological phenomena. The core principles of each perspective are clearly explained with an engaging style that is a pleasure to read, and deep insights into how humans come to understand their social world can be found on every page. As the authors remind us, social psychological ideas have the potential to change the world. This book is beautifully written, conveys the excitement and possibilities of the discipline, and is thought provoking throughout.′\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- Nyla R.
