Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 2009 University of Chicago Press paperback edition. Light reading wear else very good conditon. Merging evolutionary ecology and cognitive science, cognitive ecology investigates how animal interactions with natural habitats shape cognitive systems, and how constraints on nervous systems limit or bias animal behavior. Research in cognitive ecology has expanded rapidly in the past decade, and this second volume builds on the foundations laid out in the first, published in 1998. 'Cognitive Ecology II' integrates numerous scientific disciplines to analyze the ecology and evolution of animal cognition. The contributors cover the mechanisms, ecology, and evolution of learning and memory, including detailed analyses of bee neurobiology, bird song, and spatial learning. They also explore decision making, with mechanistic analyses of reproductive behavior in voles, escape hatching by frog embryos, and predation in the auditory domain of bats and eared insects. Finally, they consider social cognition, focusing on alarm calls and the factors determining social learning strategies of corvids, fish, and mammals. With cognitive ecology ascending to its rightful place in behavioral and evolutionary research, this volume captures the promise that has been realized in the past decade and looks forward to new research prospects.

The dust jacket is fair to good with some general top edge chipping and creasing culminating in a jagged tear approximately 35 mm in length to the top front right hand corner plus a few small tears at the top of the spine. The book is heavy and therefore additional postage MUST be applied to areas OUTSIDE the UK as follows: Europe £15 Rest of the World (excluding America) £20. Prospective USA customers should contact me in advance. Agolf Twittler, the Tangarine Tyrant and his ridiculous tarrifs mean that Royal Mail has currently paused all deliveries to the US.…

(Hooper's) particular love was for the works of Polynesia, this section being the finest private collection in existence'. The author is the grandson of James Hooper; the book is rare and still of importance.…
