Biological Psychology
Dr. James W. Kalat’s BIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY is the best selling book in the market for good reasons—an extremely high level of scholarship, clear and occasionally humorous writing style, and precise examples. An extremely skilled teacher, Dr. Kalat has written a book that speaks to today’s users as well as to professors. Throughout all ten editions, the goal has been to make biological psychology accessible to psychology users, not just to biology majors and pre-meds. The goal has also been to convey the excitement of the search for biological explanations of behavior. Kalat believes that biological psychology is “the most interesting topic in the world,” and this text convinces many users. Accuracy, currency … More >>

This is definitely not one of the best Biological Psychology books out there. To be honest, I’m actually quite surprised my professor, who is otherwise an incredible lecturer, even selected this as our course text. It treats the material at a very basic, surface level. The author thoroughly cites interesting, current research investigations and findings, but there is otherwise very limited discussion and elaboration on the majority of the topics.
Not worth the $130 I spent for it, even on a discount…

WOW! This is an incredibly illustrated and beautifully laid out book. The information is fantastic. It is suitable for undergraduate level or early graduate level biological psychology— its not so detailed that it becomes dry and boring, yet, not too simple that it does the same. Its extremely easy to learn from and very up to date. The author, Dr. Kalat, blends in a bit of humor and the most interesting current topics in neuroscience. I highly recommend this text for your course or for an interested enthusiast. You will not be disappointed!
Updates for this edition: The text layout has been revised, new studies on break-through topics (such as plasticity) have been included, graphics and artwork has been enhanced. Overall, the improvements over the previous edition are not absolutely essential. If you find the previous edition for a bargain, don’t pass it up.
