I have used this as a text and have found it to be the best available. It is well written and is easily understood by undergraduate students, without talking down to them. Its incorporation of ecology and evolution is particularly important and useful. The examples work well in giving a complete picture. The practical emphasis on how behaviors are studied and measured helps to interest students in research and equip them to evaluate new information.

This is a very good introduction to the field; it gives a wide variety of examples of many different behaviors, and while it doesn't go into any of them in any depth, that is to be expected in an introductory treatment. It is not exceptionally fascinating reading, but it is not exceptionally dry, either, and it is far from impenetrable even to a non-scientist. Generally well-written, there are only a very few typos or grammatical mistakes that have slipped through the editing process.

This is pure visdom. It should have been on the curriculum for both vet student and vet nurses! It starts hard, but gets more and more interesting. And the reader ends up with another wiew on animal behavior...

The book has some hilighting, etc. but is in the condition described when it bought it... it's the correct textbook I needed for my class and was delivered with plenty of time. great service, I'm a satisfied customer :)

The book was shipped on time and it arrived on time.. the conditions are acceptable.

This book came in the same condition as described by the shipper. It also came on time.
Perfect!
Thank you
