First published in 1981, this book is an introduction to studies of
the behaviour of a wide variety of animals including man, farm
animals and pest species. The approach is ethological and much
reference is made to detailed description of behaviour and to
biological function, although there is extensive reference to
physiology, brain mechanisms and relevant psychological research.
Ideas from sociobiology, motivation and learning studies are
emphasised. There is, therefore, very broad coverage of the role of
behaviour in all aspects of life. Another novel feature is the
extensive reference to applied aspects of behaviour, particularly
its importance to the production of farm animals and the control of
agricultural and medical pests. The book is intelligible to the
educated layman but it deals with some complex ideas. It is an
adequate text for all requirements in this area for most
undergraduates.
