The History of Psychology

Rooney's broad sweep from ancient philosophy to modern neuroscience is genuinely useful as a starting point for students encountering the history of mind and science for the first time, and the full-color illustrations help with engagement on what can be abstract material. But this is primarily a reference work rather than a readable narrative, which limits its appeal beyond structured research contexts, and the absence of independent critical reviews makes it hard to know how well it compares to other titles in the same space. Solid for a school library; not a recreational pick.
