Review "This is an extremely comprehensive overview of the biological aspects of aggression."--Doody's"This timely volume covers genetics, neurotransmitters, hormones, development, pharmacology and psychophysiology. Almost all the chapters are up to date, point out weaknesses in previous investigations and suggest future directionsa real help to the novice in this area. Of course, one principal reason that neuroscientists study aggression is to learn how to modulate it in humans and perhaps how to cope with it in other species. This book provides a good yardstick to measure where we stand in attaining those goals, while making clear that we are not yet able to predict with any useful degree of precision who will be aggressive and when they will be aggressive . . . Studying the key variables identified in this book may help reduce aggression and recidivism in the adolescent and adult violent population, as well as persistent bullying at school." --Jordan Grafman, Maren Strezniak, and Frank Krueger in Nature Neuroscience Read more About the Author Randy J.

Great to learn about the genetic and molecular basis of aggression.
I am a 3rd year postdoc in the field of neurosciences. I am interested in innate behaviors and neural circuits. I ordered this book some time ago and I learned a lot about the molecular basis of aggressive behavior. It reads great and it touches all the basics. Very helpful! 5 starts IMHO
