Críticas

"I am greatly impressed by Breedlove's ability to present this material to psychology students, who may not have much prior biology background, in a way that makes it engaging and approachable, including clinical examples, without sacrificing accuracy or neglecting to acknowledge the complexities and remaining challenges. The book is up-to-date, with nice examples of the most recent findings in the field covered by the 3 chapters I have had the opportunity to read. I will most likely switch to this book from Pinel's Biopsychology, which I have been using for decades." --Susan Bachus, University of Maryland, Baltimore County "This textbook is written in a way to engage the student reader and allow the student to apply what he or she has read to their own experiences. Each chapter quickly draws in the reader with a human-based story that relates to the chapter topic. As the reader is smoothly carried through the material, well-designed schematics and well-chosen research studies are used to improve understanding. " --Emma Sarro, Dominican College
