Great stuff. =) I first read Skinner's 'Beyond Freedom and Dignity' in 1970. It was so stunning in concept, that I found myself grappling to accept it, against customary beliefs I had.
I literally began to faint, but when dismissing it from my mind, recovered. Revisiting it did the same again. I quit, but in my sleep, figured it out - that although I no longer had 'freedom of choice, and therefore no 'honor', I was now vastly more aware of how much my internal and external environment was driving me. That awareness itself was a stimulus that would powerfully influence me to actively manage my environment. I have very deliberately done so for fifty years, gaining excellent control of myself, and of course, others. I also read his 'Walden 2', also excellent. =)

Why biological perspective was placed at the end? When it has the most significance in determining a person's behavior.

That's highly debatable.
