Biological Foundations Of Human Behavior - With Cd - 03 edition

"I think this book has the potential for taking its place among the leading textbooks in this area and might even become the leading text in the field."

--Carol Pandey, Los Angeles Pierce College

"The writing is extremely informative. The author is clearly a master teacher who ably explains this complicated content using accessible "real world" examples. Students will find the clinical examples riveting and relevant to their career interests."

--Fred Shaffer, Truman Sate University

"The author does an excellent job of integrating concepts presented earlier in the text with later discussions of relevant topics, clearly demonstrating how learning can be enhanced by the right format. The author uses a casual writing style that is engaging, without being too simplistic and pedantic."

--Susan Heidenrich, University of San Francisco

"Definitions and explanations were very clear and explicit. The author did a very good job of providing examples to clarify and elaborate... This text conveys the complexity of the brain (in a format) accessible to students."

--William Meil, Indiana University of Pennsylvania
