Dr. 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 edition continues this book's tradition of quality.
JAMES W. KALAT is Professor Emeritus at North Carolina State University, where he taught Introduction to Psychology and Biological Psychology for 35 years. Born in 1946, he received an AB degree summa cum laude from Duke University in 1968 and a PhD in psychology in 1971 from the University of Pennsylvania, under the supervision of Paul Rozin. He is also the author of Biological Psychology, 12th edition (Boston, MA: Cengage, 2016), and coauthor with Michelle N. Shiota of Emotion, 2nd edition (Belmont, CA: Wadsworth, 2012). In addition to textbooks, he has written journal articles on taste-aversion learning, the teaching of psychology, and other topics.
