Review
"This outstanding collection of papers on field methods in the study of primate biology may be the most important reference for primatologists for the forseeable future.... Essential." Choice
"... it fills a very important niche in the methodological literature. The book does an excellent job of demonstrating the application of relatively new technologies. We heartily recommend this book... much of the material in this book, and especially in the first and last chapters, would be of value to any researcher working in the field." Ethology
