4.0 out of 5 stars
A nice book to learn about Ethology and Animal Behavior,
By Fernando L Bastos (Sao Paulo - Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Perspectives on Animal Behavior (Hardcover)
I'm glad I found this book. It is a very good text to start learning abou animal behavior and ethology. I had the impression tha this book is easier to read and more organized than other books about the subject, especially if you have a Psychology background, since it's approach to the subject dosen't require a lot of Zoology knowledge from the reader, as other books on the subject do.

This review is from: Perspectives on Animal Behavior (Hardcover)
I ordered this book because it was a required text for my Animal Behavior class. I managed to order it two weeks before classes started, and it arrived right at the beginning of its expected arrival time, during the first week of classes. It was in great condition, like noted by the seller. No issues whatsoever.
