Biological Psychology
Dr. James W. Kalat's BIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY is the most widely used text in the course area, and for good reason: an extremely high level of scholarship, clear and occasionally humorous writing style, and precise examples. Throughout all eleven editions, Kalat's goal has been to make biological psychology accessible to psychology students, not just to biology majors and pre-meds. Another goal has been to convey the excitement of the search for biological explanations of behavior, and Kalat--a skilled teacher--delivers. Updated with new topics, examples, and recent research findings--and supported by a strong media package--this text speaks to today's students and instructors.

An Introduction to Brain and Behavior, 2nd Edition
Drawing on decades of teaching and research experience, Bryan Kolb and Ian Whishaw offer a proven framework for exploring the biological basis of behavior. Each chapter of An Introduction to Brain and Behavior explores a specific question asked by working neuroscientists and students (i.e. "Why do we have a brain?" "How is the nervous system organized?"). This approach brings coherence to a vast subject, and helps students understand what information is important as their study of brain and behavior progresses chapter to chapter.

The Mind's Machine: Foundations of Brain and Behavior
The title, The Mind’s Machine, introduces the metaphor that lies at the heart of behavioral neuroscience—the mind is a process at work in a machine. The aim of this book is to help students understand, right from the opening paragraphs, that their mental lives are the product of observable physical processes occurring inside the complicated object between their ears, the brain. Toward that end, we have developed a variety of new pedagogical features:Each chapter includes a “Visual Summary”: a poster-like layout that organizes the material graphically, and directs students to the figures that reinforce each point.A special feature called “Researchers at Work” highlights important discoveries, illustrating the logic and methodology of experimentation and hypothesis testing.Interim self-test questions (“How’s it going?”) throughout the chapter help students organize and rehearse what they’ve learned along the way.“A Step Further” Web links offer additional, more advanced material for those students who develop an appetite for more details, or for instructors wishing to make their course a little more challenging.For those instructors who want to tailor the readings more closely to their lectures by skipping certain topics, the chapters have been broken down into discrete “Parts,” each with its own set of features.The text is supported by a rich array of internet-based resources, including a variety of animations and videos, which students with smartphones can access instantly via QR codes.Almost every page of the new book features a Marginal Glossary, like the one that has been so well received in Biological Psychology.The Mind’s Machine provides a unique combination of instructor-friendly flexibility and student-friendly features and examples in an eye-pleasing package.

This perspective continues to be the message of Drugs, Behavior, and Modern Society, Sixth Edition.Drugs, Behavior, and Modern Society, Sixth Edition features a comprehensive review of psychoactive drugs, and is notable for the attention it gives to two aspects of drug-taking behavior that have been underreported in other texts: steroid abuse and inhalant abuse.
