Product description

    5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and Insightful Text for Understanding Human Behavior
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 January 2025
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I purchased Physiology of Behavior, for my university course, and it has been an excellent resource. The textbook is thorough, breaking down complex concepts in neuroscience, psychology, and physiology in a way that’s easy to understand. It offers a detailed exploration of how biological processes influence behavior, making it an invaluable tool for students in psychology and related fields.

    The chapters are well-structured, with clear explanations, helpful diagrams, and real-world examples. The global edition also includes up-to-date research, ensuring that the content is relevant and current. As someone new to the subject, I found the book accessible without sacrificing depth or accuracy.

    It’s not just a textbook—it’s a great reference for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of the physiological basis of behavior. If you're studying psychology or neuroscience, I highly recommend this book for its clarity and comprehensive coverage of the material.

    Reviewed in the United States on 19 November 2016
    Format: Loose LeafVerified Purchase
    I have used Carlson in my teaching for years. I bought this copy for my TA because the new publisher policy is to only make the text available online instead of allowing me to have texts to hand out to TA, and retrieve, each semester. The publisher cost me money.

    This new edition has not been thoroughly edited before publication. There are figures without figure numbers. There are figures out of order. Figure references in text are frequently buried in text rather than at the beginning or end of the paragraph where they would be easier to find.

    The new edition has substantial improvements in organization of some of the text. It has added significant sections. It has also added things that are not treated well - resilience, allostasis, come to mind.

    The publisher's PowerPoints with text is missing several figures. Fortunately, these can be found in publisher's PowerPoint of just the figures. PowerPoint text is not organized hierarchically by topic on slides.

    As usual, I do not find the publisher's data bank for test questions to be valuable.

    Needed for my masters degree. Lots of clear diagrams and I like that there are lots of pictures to break up the text. Makes it a lot easier to read. The only downside is that it's an American textbook so behaviour is spelt 'wrong' throughout!
