Product description

Review

"This is an exciting updated version. Kudos on an excellent job with this new edition. I found the flow to be particularly easy to follow, and the case examples were excellent demonstrations of each described theme. Importantly, the chapter includes some updated references which is important to keep up with this dynamic field within Animal Behavior. Overall, I think the chapter reads particularly well, and I think it strikes the right chord as an introductory textbook for undergraduates." -Molly Cummings, The University of Texas at Austin"I have tried other textbooks but always seen to come back to Alcock. The style of writing is very readable/accessible for undergraduate students. Overall, I am very pleased with the reorganization and addition of the new co-author. Rubenstein is an excellent choice." -Joseph Sisneros, University of Washington"I think the idea of shifting from 'proximate and ultimate' to 'integrative' nicely weaves in the more current language. I'm glad to see the text is still going, and am glad that Dustin is on board!" -Jeff Podos, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Well written, easy to understand. Authors have some sense of humour and reference all experiments related to examples and concepts in CSE name year, very convenient.

The new edition of classic John Alcock's manual of Animal Behavior, which I use since the 4th ed. is a magnificent manual. Now, the 11th edition has the collaboration of Dustin Rubenstein. Besides all is known from previous editions - having been the best manual for teaching animal behaviour - it has great improvements. 1. It adopts an integrative approach to behaviour, which is the right move and should be highly saluted. 2. the new boxes with exploration of a research, either for discussion, thinking further or exploration are a very good addition for better thinking about science. 3. the addition of QR codes that allow for a rapid access to a video of the behaviour of an animal being described, or the sound produced is really a great idea, that brings the manual into a completely new dimension. It is certainly a must have! The best manual became even better.

The condition of this book is great. Unfortunately it didn't answer my question as to why my son thinks he's a dog now (he's 45). I guess he's just one of those new aged hipsters or something. I did learn, however, that I guess humans are related to monkeys or something (personally more of a creationist myself). Overall, great quality if you're looking to purchase.
