The Person and The Situation by Lee Ross

This text is unique in its focus on situational theory in social psychology; i.e., how a situation affects a person's behavior. The book layers in theory from social psychology, covering many standard topics in the field, from a higher plane of analysis and thinking. There is much original thought and research here, but it is written at an engaging, crisp pace. Very stimulating for the lay person and the professional.
