An Introduction to Animal Behaviour
This book is primarily a hidden treasure to animal behaviour. The author has used his knowledge and research expertise in putting across a very subtle subject in easy narration and in flow of language. And also he has explained in detail more about the unknown facts on animal behaviour. One of the important features of this volume is the presentation of some photographic illustrations and explanations. These are indeed very rare in their intrinsic heritage. The next is pleasantly readable and extremely informative, covers a host of animals. Most of the living animals have been exhaustively presented. This is a well written book and well dotted with many interesting anecdotes. Some of the chapters are well researched to the sleep pattern of various animals.
Zoology
An introduction to the science of animal life, the book explores the major animal groups, discusses how the animal body works to maintain and replicate itself, and how animals are fitted into their environments.
Placing Animals
As Julie Urbanik vividly illustrates, non-human animals are central to our daily human lives. We eat them, wear them, live with them, work them, experiment on them, try to save them, spoil them, abuse them, fight them, hunt them, buy and sell them, love them, and hate them. Placing Animals is the first book to bring together the historical development of the field of animal geography with a comprehensive survey of how geographers study animals today. Urbanik provides readers with a thorough understanding of the relationship between animal geography and the larger animal studies project, an appreciation of the many geographies of human-animal interactions around the world, and insight into how animal geography is both challenging and contributing to the major fields of human and nature-society geography. Through the theme of the role of place in shaping where and why human-animal interactions occur, the chapters in turn explore the history of animal geography and our distinctive relationships in the home, on farms, in the context of labor, in the wider culture, and in the wild.
Animals and Society
This textbook provides a full overview of human-animal studies. It focuses on the conceptual construction of animals in American culture and the way in which it reinforces and perpetuates hierarchical human relationships rooted in racism, sexism, and class privilege.
The Animal Kingdom: A Very Short Introduction
Molecular biology has revolutionized our understanding of animals and their evolution. In this Very Short Introduction, Peter Holland provides an authoritative summary of the modern view of animal life, its origins, and the new classification resulting from DNA studies.
An Introduction to Animal Behaviour
The new, reorganised, more user-friendly edition of a successful introductory text on animal behaviour.
Introduction to Animal and Veterinary Anatomy and Physiology, 4th Edition
A sound knowledge of anatomy and physiology is an essential basis for the effective clinical treatment of companion animals and farm animals alike. The fourth edition of this bestselling book continues to provide a comprehensive description of the anatomy and physiology of dogs and cats. The book builds on these foundations with detailed descriptions of exotic small species including birds, and domestic farm animals, including cows, sheep and pigs, as well as the horse.
An Introduction to Working Animals
An introduction to various animal species that perform work in the service of humans, ranging from elephants and camels to cattle and dogs. The book aimed to raise the profile of such economic outputs in development projects in poor countries where well-meaning but myopic development policies from international agencies assumed such animal products were of low value and would disappear.
Introduction to Animal Behavior
With more emphasis than usual on the behavior of vertebrates and primates (although the author still includes classic bird and insect studies) the book examines how wild animals live, survive, and reproduce in their natural, wild habitats. This unique approach is presented in a straightforward manner without jargon, ensuring that students find the text informative and entertaining. Well-placed examples and explanations provide students with further opportunity to understand the application of the concepts.
Animal Behaviour: A Very Short Introduction
How animals behave is crucial to their survival and reproduction. The application of new molecular tools such as DNA fingerprinting and genomics is causing a revolution in the study of animal behaviour, while developments in computing and image analysis allow us to investigate behaviour in ways never previously possible. By combining these with the traditional methods of observation and experiments, we are now learning more about animal behaviour than ever before. In this Very Short Introduction Tristram D. Wyatt discusses how animal behaviour has evolved, how behaviours develop in each individual (considering the interplay of genes, epigenetics, and experience), how we can understand animal...
