Biological Psychology

Thoroughly revised and updated the third edition of this text builds on the strengths of the previous edition. Focusing on every major topic of psychobiology, this edition now has a greater emphasis on research methods. The full colour art programme has also been enhanced. Included with every copy of the book is a student CD-ROM which is closely integrated with the text. New features include: a new "Fact or Fiction?" section in Chapter 1 spotlights some popular beliefs about biological psychology, each linked by page reference to in-depth discussions in subsequent chapters; research methods are given greater emphasis and are described in greater detail; discussions of clinical disorders are delineated more clearly in the text; the full-colour art programme has been further refined; more than 300 new references, all cited in the text, have been added; new research helps to round out or give new perspectives on major topics; and some older material has been condensed or deleted, keeping the text at its previous length.
