This is a textbook for a graduate class I am taking. It is the best written and developed textbook I have ever seen. The embedded videos makes understanding it that much more. I love the end of each chapters contemporary issues that dive into the subjects more. The textbook doesn't have all this extra crap in it like most books do. It had just what you needed to know in order to apply it. With tons of ways that you can research down any rabbit hole you wanted to to learn more. Great selected YouTube videos to be embedded in it. I hear a second additions coming out soon and honestly can't wait to read it. High praisest the author and all the work that he does.

A really great introduction to biological psychology. Lots of helpful examples and the youtube videos are especially useful for getting the material down.
