Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"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." Times Higher Education Supplement
