Sinossi

An undergraduate text for courses in animal behavior, comparative psychology, and behavioral psychology, presenting a mixture of research and theory along with classic studies of animal behavior. Short discussions of the history of the field are spread out over several chapters, and separate chapters cover social, courtship, and pheromonal communication, as well as new research in animal learning and cognition. Presentation of neural and chemical mechanisms is delayed until late in the text, after coverage of evolutionary theory, behavioral genetics, and functional behavior patterns. Other features include chapter-ending sections on aspects of human evolution, summaries of past and present perspectives on chapter material, and boxes on unusual adaptations, plus chapter summaries and key terms. B&w photos and diagrams don't overwhelm the text. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
