3.0 out of 5 stars
O.K., but not what I expected,
This review is from: Animal Social Complexity: Intelligence, Culture, and Individualized Societies (Hardcover)
I was very excited to read this book, it looked like an excellent compilation of interesting research from a wide range of fields. However, I was dissappointed by the contents. Most chapters are just reviews of the general research of the authors, and some hardly address the idea of intelligence and culture. Some authors spend the whole chapter just reviewing their research, and then in the last paragraph run over their thoughts on if there is intelligence or culture in their study species in just a few sentences. Having said that, some chapters are golden and well worth the read. Because this book is relatively cheap for a science book, I would say that the few insightful chapters make it worth the cost, but overall it was not as informative or interesting as I had hoped.
