Review:
From the Back Cover:
'The book is well-written and technically accurate. The content is thorough covering the basics of most undergraduate courses.'
Louise Dye, Senior Lecturer in Bio Psychology, School of Psychology, University of Leeds.
Foundations of Biopsychology is an excellent introduction to a fascinating field of study. Up-to-date and comprehensive, this is an ideal companion for any biopsychology student and is particularly suitable for use on a semester-based course.
Foundations of Biopsychology is a lively and engaging introduction to how the brain produces behaviour. The book does not assume any background knowledge in biology or psychology. Although academically rigorous, it adopts an accessible, modular format and is supported throughout by diagrams and images.
