Behaviour, Development and Evolution
ISBN: 9781783742493 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

Plasticity, Robustness, Development and Evolution
ISBN: 9780521736206 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. How do we understand and explain the apparent dichotomy between plasticity and robustness in the context of development? Can we identify these complex processes without resorting to 'either/or' solutions? Written by two leaders in the field, this is the first book to fully unravel the complexity of the subject, explaining that the epigenetic processes generating plasticity and robustness are in fact deeply intertwined. It identifies the different mechanisms that generate robustness and the various forms of plasticity, before considering the functional significance of the integrated mechanisms...

The Development and Integration of Behaviour
ISBN: 9780521403566 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 518 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...

Design For A Life : How Behaviour Develops
ISBN: 9780099267621 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How and why does each of us grow up to be the person we are? What role do genes play in shaping our behaviour and personalities? Are our characters fixed, or can we change as adults? How does early experience affect our sexual preferences? This title deals with these questions.

Mate Choice
ISBN: 9780521272070 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Animals may be careful in their choice of mates for a variety of reasons. The ideal mate may have to hold valuable resources as well as being highly fertile or fecund. As likely as not, it should be neither too closely related nor too distantly related, and it should be maximally attractive. All these aspects of a member of the opposite sex may influence how many descendants the pair could produce, but the importance of each will usually depend on the sex and the species of the individual making the choice. This book brings together modern thinking on the various functions of mate choice and...

Perspectives in Ethology: Volume 4 Advantages of Diversity
ISBN: 9781461575771 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. One of the attractive features of the great classical ethologists was their readiness to ask different kinds of questions about behavior - and to do so without muddling the answers. Niko Tinbergen, for instance, was interested in the evolution of behavior. But he also had interests in the present-day sur vival value of a behavior pattern and in the mechanisms that control it from moment to moment. Broad as his interests were, he clearly separated out the problems and recognized that questions about the history, function, control, and development of behavior require distinct approaches - even...
