Biological Psychology
By weaving examples and themes from the social sciences with an introduction into the scientific concepts, 'Biological Psychology' provides readers with a foundation necessary for understanding this field.
Biological Psychology
Assuming no prior knowledge of biology and building upon previous editions, Biological Psychology, third edition, uses everyday experiences to explain complex concepts in an interesting and highly accessible way. This is complemented by a range of inventive pedagogical features and extensive full-colour illustrations to stimulate interest and help students to develop and test their understanding. Online resources accompanying the text can be found at www.pearsoned.co.uk/toates. These include video clips, interactions, animations, self-test questions and research updates to help students consolidate their understanding and prepare for assessment.
How Sexual Desire Works
Shows how the diversity of sexual desires, both normal and unusual, emerge from the interactions between underlying brain processes.
The Psychology of Desire
Providing a comprehensive perspective on human desire, this volume brings together leading experts from multiple psychological subdisciplines. It addresses such key questions as how desires of different kinds emerge, how they influence judgment and decision making, and how problematic desires can be effectively controlled. Current research on underlying brain mechanisms and regulatory processes is reviewed. Cutting-edge measurement tools are described, including practical recommendations for their use. The book also examines pathological forms of desire and the complex relationship between desire and happiness. The concluding section analyzes specific applied domains--eating, sex, aggression, substance use, shopping, and social media.
A Mind Of Her Own
In the new edition of a successful book, Anne Campbell redresses the balance of evolutionary theory in favour of women. She examines how selection pressures have shaped the female mind over thousands of generations: Their emotions, friendship, competition, aggression and mate choice.
Stress
This book describes the relation between the behavioural phenomena and the biological foundations of stress. It shows how stress arises when coping mechanisms fail to allow organisms to respond effectively to environmental challenges.
Understanding Sleep and Dreaming
Designed primarily as a text this volume is an up-to-date and integrated overview of physiological sleep mechanisms, brain function, psychological ramifications of sleep, dimensions of dreaming, and clinical disorders associated with sleep. It is accessibly written with specially boxed material that enhances the text. Authored by a researcher/clinician/professor with more than 25 years of experience in sleep studies, Understanding Sleep and Dreaming provides a solid basis for those who are not expert in this area. It offers a good foundation for those who will continue sleep studies, while at the same time offering enough information for those who will apply this knowledge in other ways such as clinicians in their individual practices or researchers for whom sleep may be part of a specific study. It is an excellent text for courses on sleep at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Understanding Sexual Serial Killing
This book provides an integrative and jargon-free understanding of the phenomenon of sexual serial killing to a wide readership.
Brain Gender
Do biological factors, such as gonadal hormones, determine our sexual destiny after our genes are in place? Do they make men aggressive, or women nurturing? Do they cause boys and girls to play differently or to have different interests? Do they explain differences in sexual orientation within each sex group? Do they contribute to the preponderance of men in science or women at home? Scientists working from a psychosocial perspective would answer these questions differently than those working from a behavioral neuroscience or neuroendocrinological perspective. This book brings both of these perspectives to bear on the questions, tracing the factors that influence the brain, beginning with te...
