Handbook of Biology and Politics
Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-78347-626-8 (ISBN)
Original and thought-provoking, this Handbook will prove an enriching read for political scientists starting to consider the value of biological factors in influencing political behavior, as well as for behavioural scientists in other areas experiencing the same paradigm shifts. Biologists will also find further grounding for their research into biological and behavioral science.
