Su questo libro

Recensione:

" 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.

"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.
