Opis

This is a groundbreaking work in the field of ethology (the zoological study of animal behavior) which was rapidly gaining ground in the 1960s when this collection was first published. These specially commissioned papers bought together studies of monkeys and apes from both the laboratory and the field. All of the contributors had been trained in the Lorenz/Tinbergen school, and include Jane Goodall, R. Hinde and Y. Spencer-Booth, M. Moynihan, T. E. Rowell, Caroline Loizos, John Sparks, Wolfgang Wickler, and J. van Hooff.
