Dr. James W. Kalat’s BIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY is widely used for good reason: an extremely high level of scholarship, a clear writing style with amusing anecdotes, and precise examples. Kalat’s goals are to make biological psychology accessible and to convey the excitement of the search for biological explanations of behavior, and he delivers. Updated with new topics, examples, and recent research findings, the new edition continues this book’s tradition of quality.

Review

“Very accessible to students. Well organized within each chapter and the modular structure allows instructors flexibility to customize their course. It is well written and has ample illustrations and real world application of concepts.”

“Very well written and easy to follow. Students find it very reader-friendly. It is up to the students’ writing levels. The author includes key terms when necessary; [the book] suffices to cover biological psychology.”
