Educational
Was delivered to Amazon UK pickup of my choice therefore I could collect at my convenience. Quick delivery. In good condition. Large book with plenty of coloured pictures and diagrams. Lots of interesting information. I'm not using it to gain a qualification in the subject, so I couldn't state if this book is adequate enough to get you through an A Level, let alone a Degree course, without the need for additional books on the subject.

Comprehensive
I haven't read it all yet, but it seems very comprehensive, tackling all areas of philosophical thought from early times to the present. It's based on a range of degree courses.

Not what it claims to be
WIth a huge emphasis on the history of psychology, the average reader can get totally lost. First, loads of information about a theory, then a vague hint that, well, this isn't actually true. Take the chapter on Biological Psychology: 20 pages of its history (and basically where they all got it wrong) followed by 3 pages about modern understanding of the brain (which in reality is most of our understanding). So despite the author continually repeating "impossible to cover such a huge subject in one book" almost in every chapter, there a huge chunks of the book actually about mistaken theory of our past psychologists and so useless to most, if not downright confusing. This is littered with seemingly helpful diagrams, which are not referred to, whole page pictures of ancient psychologists and actually very little useful information. A degree in a book, no. A pretty overview of the history of the subject of psychology, not Psychology itself, yes. A shabby publication.
