Review:
From the Author:
"Toates holds out a friendly hand and offers to guide new psychology students through the groundwork they will need before they can move on to a more critical and indepth study of the topics covered. For psychology students with little experience of biology, the concepts they encounter in their first year of study can be intimidating. Having Biological Psychology to hand will ease their transition into an exciting multidisciplinary subject and hopefully inspire them to read further about the biological foundations of the human mind." - Reviewed by Tom Hardwicke, University of Birmingham in Psychology Learning & Teaching
My reasons for writing this book arise from a dilemma and a
long-held conviction associated with this dilemma. It has always seemed to
me that biological psychology is unnecessarily frightening to a large
number of psychology students - I hear so often "I was never any good at
science in school". Yet biology forms an essential part of the subject and
many of this same intimidated population also wish seriously to know about
the biological perspective on psychology. So, I was determined to write a
textbook that would take all of the fear out of the subject but without
diluting the content.
