(Note: We are no longer recommending William James' Psychology: Briefer Version as additional reading (although it's a wonderful classic). Instead, we will provide selected quotations from James at various points throughout the course. We find that many students have difficulty with James' 19th century prose style. This way we can provide a lot of historical and conceptual context for the James material, and just give you the crucial bits.
However, if you want to tackle that that challenging material, James' Principles of Psychology is available free at the York University History of Psychology website.)
