Biological Psychology Zusammenfassung

Biological Psychology: An Integrative Approach Fred Toates

Behaviour, Psychobiology and Introduction to Neuroscience at the undergraduate level which assumes no prior understanding of science. The first four-colour European entree in this market. In a visually appealing format, this text approaches the material from an "integrative approach" to help students see the big picture and how such aspects of the brain as neurotransmission and neuroanatomy relate to "real" psychological topics such as emotion, language and learning, sexual behaviour, anxiety, aggression, recovery from brain damage, depression, and pain. The book focuses on the structures and function of brain anatomy first, then introduces the resulting behaviours. By weaving examples and themes from the Social sciences with a solid introduction into the scientific concepts the book's narrative captures students' excitement and provides them with a foundation necessary for optimum understanding of this dynamic field of psychology. Using state of the art colour illustrations, concepts are introduced and illustrated with great detail and clarity. A solid pedagogical framework throughout to guide students' learning and substantial support and technology package make this text a compelling learning and teaching tool.

Biological Psychology Bewertungen

"...this text presents a more personalised view of the organisation of Biological Psychology than is seen in many other texts in this area, and the presentation of the imformation gains from this approach. Toates has given us an excellent text for the interested student of biological psychology." - Terry D. Blumenthal, Biological Psychology. "This fat, soft covered, beautifully produced text is particularly pleasant to explore and handle...its packed with information... Here is more than you would ever want to know about the current state of biological knowledge relevant to psychological proceses, a field clearly expanding exponentially." - Alan Large, Australian Journal of Psychotherapy " I think this text is an exciting, important and highly competitive entrant into this market. It is written for the student by an accomplished writer and educator, and I can recommend it most highly to you" - Neil E. Rowland, Physiology and Behaviour "...suceeds in its ambition to present an integrated view of biological psychology" - Tom Dickins, Times Higher Education Supplement "It provides a good, compeling explanations of conventional topics in Physiological psychology" - Patrick Green, Animal Behaviour "... an accessible and informative text providing an excellent introduction to the biological bases of behaviour... The presentation and organisation of the book are excellent, making use of illustrations that are of an extremely high standard, serving to clarify and inform rather than distract the reader." - Dr Bundy Mackintosh, MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge, UK, reviewing on Amazon.co.uk
