Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"It's a fantastic book--a lucid and clear guide that gets to the heart of the most important and interesting topics in our field."--Amanda Seed, University of St. Andrews "This is a real tour-de-force. It is stunningly erudite, very up to date, and comprehensive. I can see myself using this in teaching graduate seminars and highest-level undergrad seminars."--Clive Wynne, author of Do Animals Think? and Animal Cognition "The book will be an invaluable text for both undergraduate and beginning graduate courses in animal/comparative cognition. The encyclopedic authoritative knowledge and intellectual rigor of the author are clearly and effectively reflected in the clarity of her writing, organization of material, and remarkably current citations."--Roger Thompson, Franklin and Marshall College

Reseña del editor:

A foremost scholar in comparative cognition―a discipline closely connected to behavioral biology, evolution, and cognitive neuroscience―author Sara J. Shettleworth delivers a focused treatment of the essentials in writing that is both lucid and captivating.

Brief, yet brimming with detail, Fundamentals of Comparative Cognition conveys the richness and complexity of this diverse field while addressing two fundamental questions: "What makes us uniquely human?" and "What do our minds share with other creatures?"
