SynopsisThe most widely used text in its course area, James W. Kalat's BIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY has appealed to thousands of students before you. Why? Kalat's main goal is to make Biological Psychology understandable to Psychology students, not just to Biology majors and pre meds--and he delivers. Another goal is to convey the excitement of the search for biological explanations of behavior. Kalat believes that Biological Psychology is "the most interesting topic in the world," and this text convinces many students--and maybe you, too--with clear writing, amusing anecdotes and intriguing examples. MindTap, an interactive online learning resource that integrates the text with videos, animations and a virtual bio-lab component, makes learning even easier and more enjoyable.
The main problem I had with this book is that it came as a PDF and I couldn’t read it in kindle or ibooks. I suppose that’s what you get when you don’t pay full price.
Please be aware that this is an ebook and not a hardcover product. The listing on my computer said and still says that this product is a hardcover book. Other than that, it’s a good product at an affordable price.
