do with psychology and he captures and engages students' attention. The book shows students how such aspects of brain physiology as neuro-transmission and neuroanatomy relate to ''real'' psychological topics such as language, sexual behavior, drug addiction, depression, and schizophrenia. The Fifth Edition has been completely updated with the latest research in neurobiology. The whole book has been fine-tuned, yet the elements have been retained that made Kalat so popular with students and professors alike, his emphasis on the human phenomena, the effects of physiology on behavior, and engaging student interest rather than churning out facts. He continues to keep the treatment of the sophisticated content approachable for a wide audience, and he provides a stimulating text without losing students in the details.
