Perspectives in Ethology
ISBN: 9781461575719 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the early days of ethology, most of the major developments were in the realm of ideas and in the framework in which animal behavior was studied. Much of the evidence was anecdotal, much of the thinking intuitive. As the subject developed, theories had to be tested, language had to become more public than it had been, and quantitative descriptions had to replace the preliminary qualitative accounts. That is the way a science develops; hard headed analysis follows soft-headed synthesis. There are limits, though, to the usefulness of this trend. The requirement to be quantitative can mean...

Perspectives in Ethology: Volume 6 Mechanisms
ISBN: 9781475702347 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 309 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When we began this series we wanted to encourage imaginative thinking among ethologists and those working in related fields. By the time we had reached Volume 3, we were advised by our publishers to give each volume a theme. Although we accepted the advice, it ran somewhat counter to our own wish to give our authors full rein. It also meant that we could not accept submitted manuscripts if they lay too far outside the topic for the next volume. We did, however, cheat a little, and faithful followers of the series will have noticed that some of the contributions were not exactly on the stated...

Perspectives in Ethology: Volume 2
ISBN: 9781461575740 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the preface to the first volume of this series we set out our aims, which were to encourage fresh perspectives in ethology and provide a forum for new ideas. We still feel that in the perfectly proper search for high stan dards of evidence, methodology has tended to remain the master rather than the servant of most aspects of ethological work. It is easy for us all to forget that the kinds of data we collect are largely determined by the kinds of questions we ask. Even an ethologist with the professed goal of providing a straightforward account of behavior must incorporate into his or her...

Social Behavior
ISBN: 9781468429039 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Sociobiology is the play of the season. Its success is mellsured by its immense popularity and perhaps by the controversy it has generated as well. Unfortunately, neither its popularity nor the resulting controversy seems likely to assure progress toward understanding sociobiological issues. The play has too many actors and, it seems, the casting has been poor; the players are unable to maintain their roles. At center stage, of course, is E. O. Wilson and his monumental opus Sociobiology. 1 In the wings, and making periodic entrances, are an assort- ment of brilliant, committed, and...

William Bateson, Naturalist: His Essays and Addresses Together with a Short Account of His Life
ISBN: 9781108004343 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. William Bateson (1861 1926) began his academic career working on variation in animals in the light of evolutionary theory. He was inspired by the rediscovery of Gregor Mendel's work on plant hybridisation to pursue further experimental work in what he named 'genetics'. He realised that Mendel's results could help to solve difficult biological questions and controversies which others had glossed over, and to challenge assumptions underlying evolution as it was understood at the time. After two years as Professor of Biology at Cambridge he left in 1910 to become Director of the newly founded...

Naven: A Survey of the Problems Suggested by a Composite Picture of the Culture of a New Guinea Tribe Drawn from Three Points
ISBN: 9780804705202 / Angielski / Miękka / 1958 / 367 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Naven" is the name of a peculiar ritual practiced by Iatmul, a head-hunting tribe of New Guinea.Th e ceremony is performed to congratulate members of the tribe upon the completion of notable accomplishments, among which homicide ranks highest. Ordinarily this tribe insists upon an extreme contrast between the sexes, but in the "naven" ceremony, tranvestitism and ritual homosexuality are represented. The "naven" serves in this book as a motive around which the author has constructed one of the most influential works of field anthropology ever written.

Behaviour, Development and Evolution
ISBN: 9781783742486 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The role of parents in shaping the characters of their children, the causes of violence and crime, and the roots of personal unhappiness are central to humanity. Like so many fundamental questions about human existence, these issues all relate to behavioural development. In this lucid and accessible book, eminent biologist Professor Sir Patrick Bateson suggests that the nature/nurture dichotomy we often use to think about questions of development in both humans and animals is misleading. Instead, he argues that we should pay attention to whole systems, rather than to simple causes, when...

Materials for the Study of Variation: Treated with Especial Regard to Discontinuity in the Origin of Species
ISBN: 9781108053129 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 620 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Building on the work of Darwin and Mendel, the biologist William Bateson (1861 1926) was the first scientist to combine the study of variation, heredity and evolution, and to use the term 'genetics'. This book was first published in 1894 after many years of experimental and theoretical work particularly in the embryology of the acorn worm genus Balanoglossus which had been guided by the principle that embryonic developmental stages replay the evolutionary transitions of adult forms of an organism's ancestors. Bateson was the first to challenge this theory, which made him unpopular among the...

The Development and Integration of Behaviour
ISBN: 9780521407090 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The main part of the book begins with a study of behavioral development in animals, progresses to the neural and endocrine aspects of behavior, and then to the social behavior of nonhuman primates. The final transition from monkeys to humans, which Hinde made in his own research, leads to an impressive section on the development of social behavior in humans. The last scientific chapter relates to Dr. Hinde's deep concern about aggression and the peculiarly human institution of war. His own commentaries to the book discuss the recurring theme of crossing and recrossing the boundaries among...
