Comment: The text has been called #1 of its kind in the market today. The chapters are clearly outlined and defined. The terms and their definitions are set apart within the text in a different color font. The text utilizes a vast number of cutting-edge resources for its respective chapters' content. The pictures, graphs, charts, and concept illustrations are extremely helpful and set the book apart as a student's best resource for concise introductory content in biological psychology.

Summary: Not well define enough.....
Comment: This book is good for those who have some basic knowledge in biology. For those who doesn't, would find it hard to understand. I have compared it with other text books and I felt that some of the terms are defined very briefly.

Summary: Highly recommended
Comment: I highly recommend this book. As an undergraduate psychology student who just completed a physiological psychology course using this text, I can assure professors that it is a very useful, clear, and well organized textbook. It is much better than most college textbooks.
