Reviews

Platt and Ghazanfar have assembled what will undoubtedly become the standard text in primate neuroethology. This is a volume that should provides fresh insight for primatologists, neuroscientists and cognitive scientists as it reveals that rich interdisciplinary threads that bind these areas of scholarship together. This is a must-have book for anyone interested in primate cognition. --Paul Glimcher, Professor of Neural Science, Economics, and Psychology, New York University Primate Neuroethology is magnificent! Michael Platt and Asif Ghazanfar have brought together the foremost experts in the fields of primate behaviour, cognition and neurobiology to create a comprehensive and accessible work in the emerging field of primate neuroethology. Weaving together the contributions of a remarkable group of scientists, they have bridged the gap between ethology and neurobiology in this authoritative-yet-provocative text. --Alan Kingstone, Distinguished University Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience, University of British Columbia Overall, this is a comprehensive, diverse, well illustrated, and highly informative collection...without question the large amount of material and the successful approach to presenting the case for primate neuroethology make this volume the kind of resource one will return to repeatedly. So keep it centrally located on your bookshelf... --PsycCRITIQUES
