Biological Psychology: An Illustrated Survival Guide (repost)

Biological Psychology: An Illustrated Survival Guide by Paul Aleixo and Murray Baillon
English | 2008 | ISBN: 0470870990, 0470871016 | 278 pages | PDF | 17,2 MB

“This fantastic introduction to Biological Psychology brings the subject to life in a way that no traditional textbook can. I will certainly be recommending it.” Brian Wink, Southampton Solent University

"My first reaction was that it was both imaginative and courageous. Having read it, I would add that it also makes a significant contribution to the available texts on biological psychology. This approach is just what students are looking for.” Graham Mitchell, University of Northampton

Taking a refreshingly innovative approach to the subject, Biological Psychology: An Illustrated Survival Guide uses cartoons as an effective teaching medium. Each chapter is organised into a mini lecture, and offers an accessible introduction to key topics including:
The brain and nervous system
Vision and audition
The mechanical and chemical senses
Emotions and sexual behaviour
Memory and learning

Intended to complement traditional textbooks in the area, Biological Psychology: An Illustrated Survival Guide provides undergraduate and ‘A’ level students with an alternative introduction to biological psychology and an invaluable study aid.
