Reviews

'Wayfinding Behavior: Cognitive Mapping and Other Spatial Processes' incorporates cognitive, perceptual, neural and animal perspectives. The authors come from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, yet the writing is accessible to a wide audience. The book represents an exciting and innovative addition to the cognitive mapping literature, and will be a standard reference for the next decade of cognitive map research. --Stephen Hirtle, University of Pittsburgh
