The Chimpanzees of the Budongo Forest: Ecology, Behaviour, and Conservation
ISBN: 9780198515463 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Unlike humans, who came down from the trees and developed bipedal locomotion, chimpanzees have remained in the original habitat of our ancestors: the tropical rainforests of Africa.
In this book, Vernon Reynolds describes in detail the work of a large number of students and senior researchers on the wild chimpanzees of the Budongo Forest Reserve in Western Uganda. He presents a coherent and in-depth account of one chimpanzee community of more than 60 individuals living in the Sonso area in the middle of the Budongo Forest, which he and his colleagues have studied intensively over the...

Ghostly Muscles, Wrinkled Brains, Heresies and Hobbits: A Leverhulme Public Lecture Series
ISBN: 9789812797421 / Angielski / Twarda / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Leverhulme Trust (UK) required Charles Oxnard to present a series of public lectures during his tenure of a Leverhulme Professorship at University College, London. The lectures had to be understandable not only to undergraduate and graduate students and colleagues, but also to the interested lay public. Furthermore, they were expected to meet and venture beyond present-day thought in the subject. This near-impossible task is reproduced in this unique volume. Each chapter shows what is rarely, if ever, done in scientific papers: how the problems truly arose; how the methods came about; the...

The Year of the Gorilla
ISBN: 9780226736471 / Angielski / Miękka / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This seminal work chronicles George B. Schaller's two years of travel and observation of gorillas in East and Central Africa in the late 1950s, high in the Virunga volcanoes on the Zaire-Rwanda-Uganda border. There, he learned that these majestic animals, far from being the aggressive apes of film and fiction, form close-knit societies of caring mothers and protective fathers watching over playful young. Alongside his observations of gorilla society, Schaller celebrates the enforced yet splendid solitude of the naturalist, recounts the adventures he experienced along the way, and offers a...

In the Shadow of Man
ISBN: 9780547334165 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. World-renowned primatologist, conservationist, and humanitarian Dr. Jane Goodall s account of her life among the wild chimpanzees of Gombe is one of the most enthralling stories of animal behavior ever written. Her adventure began when the famous anthropologist Dr. Louis Leakey suggested that a long-term study of chimpanzees in the wild might shed light on the behavior of our closest living relatives. Accompanied by only her mother and her African assistants, she set up camp in the remote Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve in Tanzania. For months the project seemed hopeless; out in the forest...

Understanding the chimpanzee mind is akin to opening a window onto human consciousness.Many of our complex cognitive processes have origins that can be seen in the way that chimpanzees think, learn, and behave. "The Mind of the Chimpanzee" brings together scores of prominent scientists from around the world to share the most recent research into what goes on inside the mind of our closest living relative. Intertwining a range of topics including imitation, tool use, face recognition, culture, cooperation, and reconciliation with critical commentaries on conservation and welfare, the...

Orangutans: Geographic Variation in Behavioral Ecology and Conservation
ISBN: 9780199584154 / Angielski / Miękka / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book describes one of our closest relatives, the orangutan, and the only extant great ape in Asia. It is increasingly clear that orangutan populations show extensive variation in behavioural ecology, morphology, life history, and genes. Indeed, on the strength of the latest genetic and morphological evidence, it has been proposed that orangutans actually constitute two species which diverged more than a million years ago - one on the island of Sumatra the other on Borneo, with the latter comprising three subspecies.
This book has two main aims. The first is to carefully compare data... This book describes one of our closest relatives, the orangutan, and the only extant great ape in Asia. It is increasingly clear that orangutan popula...

Animal Homosexuality: A Biosocial Perspective
ISBN: 9780521196758 / Angielski / Twarda / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Homosexuality is an evolutionary paradox in search for a resolution, not a medical condition in search for a cure. Homosexual behavior is common among social animals, and mainly expressed within the context of a bisexual sexual orientation. Exclusive homosexuality is less common, but not unique to humans. Poiani and Dixson invite the reader to embark on a journey through the evolutionary, biological, psychological and sociological aspects of homosexuality, seeking an understanding of both the proximate and evolutionary causes of homosexual behavior and orientation in humans, other mammals and...

Shaping Primate Evolution: Form, Function, and Behavior
ISBN: 9780521143417 / Angielski / Miękka / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This state-of-the-art book on how form is described in primate biology, and its consequences for function and behavior, includes contributions by internationally renowned researchers of quantitative primate evolutionary morphology. Each chapter elaborates upon the analysis of the form-function-behavior triad. The book is unique, therefore, not only in the diversity of the topics discussed, but in the range of levels of biological organization addressed--from cellular morphometrics to the evolution of primate ecology.

Conservation in the 21st Century: Gorillas as a Case Study
ISBN: 9781441943569 / Angielski / Miękka / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Like other fields of science, wildlife conservation is a changing field. Threats facing wild populations of apes and other species, say 20 years ago, are likely not the same ones most pressing today, and even where threats have remained unchanged, more effective means of addressing them may be available now. Conservation scientists have learned from many years of experience, and both theoretical and technological advances today provide conservation tools not available in the past. This volume identifies the primary problems faced in conserving wild populations of gorillas throughout... Like other fields of science, wildlife conservation is a changing field.

Nanomaterials: Mechanics and Mechanisms
ISBN: 9781441935373 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book grew out of my desire to understand the mechanics of nanomaterials, and to be able to rationalize in my own mind the variety of topics on which the people around me were doing research at the time. The ?eld of nanomaterials has been growing rapidly since the early 1990s. I- tially, the ?eld was populated mostly by researchers working in the ?elds of synt- sis and processing. These scientists were able to make new materials much faster than the rest of us could develop ways of looking at them (or understanding them). However, a con?uence of interests and capabilities in the 1990s led...

The Gibbons: New Perspectives on Small Ape Socioecology and Population Biology
ISBN: 9781441927828 / Angielski / Miękka / 526 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is a great honor to be asked to introduce this exciting new volume, having been heavily involved in the first comprehensive synthesis in the early 1980s. Gibbons are the most enthralling of primates. On the one hand, they are the most appealing animals, with their upright posture and body shape, facial markings, dramatic arm-swinging locomotion and suspensory postures, and devastating duets; on the other hand, the small apes are the most diverse, hence biologically valuable and informative, of our closest relatives. It is hard for me to believe that it is 40 years to the month since I...
