"Comprises contributions from an impressive number of authorities in their research fields ... The editors' aim was to create a modern textbook incorporating all the contemporary subdisciplines of behavioural biology while encompassing both functional and causal approaches, and I am very impressed with the way they have achieved this goal ... I strongly recommend this superb volume." Ethology "If animals could speak, they would certainly express their satisfaction with Bolhuis and Giraldeau's magnificently edited volume. It shows not only how far students of animal behavior have come in understanding the exquisitely designed lives of animals, but the exciting path ahead. This book will be of interest to students of animal behavior at all levels, and especially important for graduate students snooping around for a thesis project." Marc Hauser, Harvard College Professor, author of "Wild Minds" (Holt, 2000) "Built on the solid foundations of Tinbergen's 'four questions', this lucid and comprehensive textbook will bring contemporary research in animal behaviour to life for the student." Professor Mark H Johnson, Director, Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development, University of London "With superb overviews of topics such as cognition, development and sexual selection from renowned experts, The Behavior of Animals is the best textbook of animal behaviour on the market." Kevin N. Laland, Royal Society University & University of St Andrews "The study of animal behavior continues to broaden as it gains scientific maturity. Bolhuis and Giraldeau capture this current in our discipline's development, imparting freshness and enthusiasm to both established and new areas of inquiry, while retaining a sense of continuity with history. Highly recommended." Professor Ron Ydenberg, Director, Centre for Wildlife Ecology, Simon Fraser University, Canada "... there is a great deal to recommend this text. It is very clearly written with a wealth of examples and cases that would
