An Introduction toAnimal BehaviourFifth Edition

Aubrey Manning &Marian Stamp Dawkins

Using its powerful beak, a lorikeet gently preens its mate’s feathers;young cheetahs rest together in the shade; fireflies signal to each otheracross a darkened landscape and a mongoose deftly bites its prey todeath. The study of animal behaviour is about all these things andmore. It involves static postures and active movements, all the noisesand smells and changes of colour and shape that characterize animallife.

Taking the organization of behaviour within the individual animal as itscore, this is a clear, concise and readable foray into the fascinatingworld of animal behaviour, in terms of Tinbergen’s questions ofcausation, evolution, development and function. It provides lucidaccounts of all levels of behaviour from the nerve cell to that of thepopulation. The broad biological approach of this new edition makes itan excellent choice for all students of animal behaviour and psychologyand their teachers.

Introduction toModern ClimateChangeAndrew Dessler

This textbook is tightly focused on the problem of anthropogenicclimate change. It is unique among textbooks on climate change in thatit combines an introduction of the science with an introduction to thenon-science issues such as the economic and policy options. Unlikemore purely descriptive textbooks, it contains the quantitative depththat is necessary for an adequate understanding of the science ofclimate change. The goal of the book is for a student to leave the classready to engage in the public policy debate on this issue. This is aninvaluable textbook for any introductory survey course on the scienceand policy of climate change, for both non-science majors andintroductory science students.
