Recensione

"As a festschrift it is unusual, partly because the person being honored actually contributes to the volume himself and partly because the book is so forward looking and contains up-to-date and useful reviews on a variety of subjects...a well-edited and well-chosen collection of essays. Many are extremely useful and topical reviews in their own right." Nature

"...a must for any serious student of behavior, not only because of the consistent quality of the essays, but also for Hinde's reaction to them." Choice

"...useful for individuals interested in the historical paths leading to the modern study of behavior or to readers who need a succinct review of the current hot topics in the development and integration of behavior." Randy J. Nelson and A. Courtney DeVries, Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease

Descrizione del libro

Understanding where the behaviour of animals and humans comes from and, once developed, how it is organised, has proved a major challenge involving many different disciplines. The contributors of this book honour Robert Hinde, who has done so much to bring together different areas of knowledge that are required to understand animal and human behaviour, and he provides commentaries on their chapters.
