For courses in Physiological Psychology, Biological Psychology, Brain and Behavior, Psychobiology, and Introduction to Neuroscience at the sophomore to senior level.
The first NEW full color entree in the biological psychology market in many years.
In a visually appealing format, this text approaches the material from a timely “neuroscience” perspective, and mirrors the changing face of the field of psychology. The book focuses on the structures and functions of brain anatomy first, then introduces the resulting behaviors. By weaving examples and themes from the Humanities with a solid introduction into the scientific concepts, the book's narrative captures students' excitement and provides them with the scientific foundation necessary for optimum understanding of this dynamic field of psychology.
Using state of the art color illustrations, concepts are introduced and illustrated with great detail and clarity. High interest boxes in each chapter examine interesting historical developments and findings in the field, and serve to further discuss relevant scientific detail. Chapter pedagogy, self-contained, modular chapters, extensive references for further study, and a substantial support package make this text a compelling learning and teaching tool.
