An Introduction to Behavioral Endocrinology

The second edition of An Introduction to Behavioural Endocrinology retains all the features of the first, and provides an updated, integrated presentation of the study of hormone-behaviour interaction. Emphasizing a comparative approach, the text explores the endocrine mechanisms that have evolved in both human and non-human animals to solve common problems in survival and reproduction. It also features a new chapter on stress and, while increasing its coverage of molecular and cellular approaches, it retains its accessiblity for non-biology students.
