Description:The Innovative Biopsychology Text is Now Published By SAGE!Thoroughly updated from the previous edition, Brain & An Introduction to Biological Psychology, Second Edition is the only text that focuses on the “big picture” to provide a highly accessible introduction to the biology of behavior, from emotions to perception to consciousnessAuthor Bob Garrett engages students right from the start by providing accessible content and useful pedagogy. The integration of sensory material into behavioral contexts enhances student interest in topics they often regard as boring. The text includes two chapters not found in other biopsychology texts, on the biological bases of intelligence and consciousness. These discussions build on material from earlier chapters to make a final and convincing case for the power of biological psychology to explain human behavior.New to the Second EditionIncludes more than 500 new references, with 37% of them from 2004 and later. Expands on and combines the material on research techniques that was previously in the appendix with two topics from the first edition’s introductory chapter, Science, Research, and Theory and Research Ethics, to form the new chapter The Methods and Ethics of Research. Contains more than 60 new illustrations, and 25 others were significantly revised to increase their informational and educational value. Presents new tables Incorporates thoroughly updated In the News and Application features with the most current information. Integrates the latest findings in our rapidly increasing understanding of genetic influences on behavior Strengthens the theme of the broader societal relevance of biopsychologyPopular features retained from the earlier Contains an eye-catching four-color interior design and extensive illustrative art program Covers intelligence & consciousness in their own separate chapters, which is unique compared to the competition Explores drugs and addiction in a separate chapter Brings the focus on behavior to the forefront.
