Cognition, Evolution, and Behavior - Grand Format

"... a truly impressive synthesis of an enormous body of research on a wide variety of animal species. I can think of no other work that so comprehensively describes the exciting new field of animal cognition." Dorothy Cheney, University of Pennsylvania. "... an improvement on an already great scholarly work, with much to say to diverse fields including comparative cognition, neuroethology, and behavioral ecology.
It will be highly cited." Ken Cheng, Macquarie University. "Shettleworth's thought-provoking up-to-date, interdisciplinary overview is essential reading for anyone with an interest in understanding the relationship between animal and human psychology." Bennett Galef, McMaster University. "If you are curious about animal behavior, ... then you absolutely must read this remarkable book. It is extraordinary well-written, erudite, yet simple, beautifully illustrated and perhaps more importantly, comprehensive and really up-to-date." Luc-Alain Giraldeau, University of Québec at Montréal.
"... an amazing synthesis of all the classical themes within behavioural sciences. This second edition reflect(s) all major advances in the rapidly changing fields of comparative cognition, learning theory and behavioural ecology. I will recommend this book to all my students, both undergraduates and graduates. And I will study it carefully myself." Alex Kacelnik, Oxford University. "The first edition...
had a large impact on animal cognition research, and this substantial update and revision will have even greater impact... I can't wait to... use it to teach an animal cognition course." Alan Kamil, University of Nebraska. "I do not think anyone else has the range of knowledge and sympathetic understanding of the two disparate research traditions (what used to be called animal psychology and ethology), that go to make up this book.
Not only that, but the two themes are interwoven and integrated in a masterly and uniquely illuminating way... There is no serious competitor." Nicholas Mackintosh, Cambridge University. "... a magisterial overview of comparative psychology. If everyone in this field (and not just students) would stop working for a day and a read this book, a great deal of senseless debate about animal minds would be avoided." Derek C.
Penn & Caniel J. Povinelli, University of Louisiana.
