Reviews
I really like the writing style - easy to read but contains the necessary information for first- and second-year students. The spotlights are really good and make it possible for interested students to dig deeper., Students commencing a university course in psychology are often thought to find the presence of 'statistics' the most unwelcome surprise, but it could be argued that the presence of psychobiology can be just as alarming for others. For these students, getting to grips with sophisticated biological science, as well as the complex methods used to measure and assess our biological ability, can be a very challenging matter. All this is worth mentioning because the book under review deals with such anxiety by explaining things in an admirably clear manner, furnishing excellent examples and moving from the elementary to the much more complex elements in such a way that should see it becoming one of the standard textbooks in this area., The style is very clear and readable: it made me want to continue reading. I would recommend this for students who find the subject particularly difficult, and who struggle to get a firm grasp of the basics.

A few days before my purchase, I asked the seller if they could wait for a specific day to ship the item, but they didn't reply until days after I made the purchase. The reply didn't address what I was asking. I was aware that the duration of the shipping is not under their control; I just wanted to try to time it with a specific shipping date. But the item was offered for a good price, and it arrived in decent shape. The packaging was good.
