book

My daughter bought this book for her class at SSU. It was what she needed

Comprehensive

I read this book to better understand how biological factors affect human psychology. Although it is a student text and intended to include classroom lecture and discussion, it provides a through overview of the subject and a level of detail that helps explain human behavior. A bit academic for some, it will help any reader to appreciate the incredible complex interaction between the biological and psychological.

Great book!

This text book is a really great tool for students that are just starting to learn about biopsych. It is informative and detailed but not to the point to were students can't understand the material. The CD is also a great resource.

good end of the second millenium

I had the chance to give a overlook to prof. M.Rosenzweig text "Biological Psychology...", talking with my assistant teacher, I said, at last a nice, and good text for undergraduate student that are not going to be medicine student, but other profesional. This is the text for a change in the teaching of neuroscience; the result of it use will be clear at december 2000. the reasons for this: - clear use of history. - great use of design in each theme treated. - all the aids (cd, etc) are exactly what a beginnig student need. - the use of real neuroanatomy part, are perfectly complement by the pictures, diagram in the text. profs. M. Rosenzweig, A. leiman & S.M. Breedlove thanks from Chile.

The best book on the subject

This is the best introductory book in Biological Psychology/Neuropsychology I have seen so far. Very well written and with beautiful illustrations and pictures that make this interesting subject even better.
