More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"Understanding Biological Psychology is really biology for psychology rather than a watered–down biology text. Its great strength is bridge building across the many areas of psychology. As a geneticist, I especially appreciated the way the book integrates the latest genetic advances, something seldom seen in biological psychology textbooks" Robert Plomin, Institute of Psychiatry, London. <!––end––>
"Here is a textbook writer who encourages students to reflect on wider implications of research findings." The Psychologist
“Gives conceptual clarity to a complex field in covering a core area of the undergraduate syllabus, focussing on end uses of biological psychology rather than treating it as an end in itself.”
Times Higher Education Supplement

Format:Paperback
"Enjoyable, unexpected topics are presented (philosophy of mind, dualism, identity theory, reductionism)...Here is textbook writer who encourages students to reflect on wider implications of research findings. There is also plenty of scope for expansion - a second edition appearing in the near future would be unsurprising" Gareth Hagger-Johnson, The Psychologist, August 2007, Volume 20, number 8.

Good quality

Format:Paperback
The book's quality is great, as described. The pages didn't have any marks, but the cover was a little bent. It shipped quickly.
