Recenzje

'This volume includes contributions from almost every major international figure in chick neuroscience, and Richard Andrew deserves congratulations on his fine, diligent compilation... to the best of my knowledge, the only compact guide to this area of science. It is clear and reads well, being in six parts.' The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology
