Counterintuitively, the first impression you will have on reading this 416-page document is brevity. It does not waste words. It's also a pretty traditional presentation of the subject - not necessarily a bad thing. The cognitivist perspective on learning ("starts with awareness of stimuli, cognitive encoding of that information, and its retention in memory") will appeal to some but by no means all. On the other hand, the volume as a whole is very well-written and clear, is comprehensive, and serves as an excellent overview of the subject. There's a lot there, but you can get through it in a day, and it will be a day well spent. It's free but you need to create an account to download, but it's CC-by, so I put a copy on my site you can download directly (416 page PDF) without filling out forms.
