Summary:

First published in 1932, the original blurb states: "...This is designed as an introduction to the scientific study of man and society for those who have not time or inclination to pursue the more recondite problems of mind. .... It concentrates on the dynamics of the human organism and aims to give the student that minimum acquaintance with psychology without which he is not fitted to be a citizen of the modern world." Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.
