Biological Psychology
by James W. KalatDr. James W. Kalat's BIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY is widely used for good reason: an extremely high level of scholarship, a clear writing style with amusing anecdotes, and precise examples. Kalat's goals are to make biological psychology accessible and to convey the excitement of the search for biological explanations of behavior, and he delivers. Updated with new topics, examples, and recent research findings, the new 12th edition continues this book's tradition of quality.
Biological Psychology (Eleventh Edition)
by James W. KalatThe most widely used text in its course area, Dr. James W. Kalat's BIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY appeals to students and instructors alike. Throughout all eleven editions, the goal has been to make biological psychology accessible to psychology students, 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 students--and perhaps you, too--with its clear writing style, amusing anecdotes, and intriguing examples. A media-rich, highly interactive online eBook integrates the text with videos, animations, and an online bio-lab component, making it easier for you to learn.

Biology (6th edition)
by Jane B. Reece Neil A. CampbellReflecting the changing landscape of the subject it surveys, this Sixth Edition of BIOLOGY is our most sweeping revision ever. But throughout the revision process, we have kept in mind the two core goals of all earlier editions: to explain the key con¬cepts of biology clearly and accurately within a context of unifying themes, and to help students develop positive and realistic impressions of science as a process of inquiry. These two teaching values evolved in the classroom, and we are obviously gratified that the book's dual emphases on concept-building and the process of science have appealed to the educators and students who have made BIOLOGY the most widely used college science textbook. But with this privilege of sharing biology with so many students comes the responsibility to continue improving the book to serve the biology community even better. Thus, throughout the entire planning and revision process, we visited dozens of campuses to listen to what students and their professors had to say about their biology courses and textbooks. These conversations with faculty and students informed the many improvements you'll find in this Sixth Edition.

These stories capture the human face of biology, highlighting the work of researchers and medical professionals who are making new discoveries every day. The text is accompanied by a wealth of carefully crafted pedagogy that teaches students how to analyze science in the news, interpret data, ask questions, and distinguish between science and pseudoscience.
Biology and Ideology from Descartes to Dawkins
by Ronald L. Numbers Denis R. AlexanderUntil well into the twentieth century neither scientists themselves nor the scholars who studied science linked science with ideology, a term coined in the late eighteenth century and typically employed pejoratively to designate ideas in the use of particular interests. Among the first to connect ideology and science were Karl Marx and his followers, who identified "ideologies" as ideas that served the social interests of the bourgeoisie.
