Dr. James W. Kalat's BIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY is the most widely used text in the course area, translated into seven other languages. There are good reasons for its nearly four decades of leadership: a high level of scholarship, a clear writing style with amusing anecdotes and precise examples. With all editions, Kalat's goal has been to make Biological Psychology accessible to Psychology students, not just to Biology majors and pre meds. Another goal is to convey the excitement of the search for biological explanations of behavior, and Kalat delivers. Updated with new topics, examples and recent research findings--and supported by the interactive learning tools in the MindTap online learning platform--the thirteenth edition speaks to today's students and instructors.
