Chimpanzees of the Lakeshore Natural History and Culture at Mahale

Toshisada Nishida

Primate Tourism A Tool for Conservation?

Edited by Anne E. Russon York University, Toronto

and Janette Wallis

Japan Monkey Centre

University of Oklahoma

Exploring the long-term studies carried out at Mahale, Tanzania, this book provides a fascinating introduction to chimpanzee behaviour. Topics include diet, hunting, development, play, female relationships, communication and male power-takeovers. Local variation in behaviour is also considered, showing that chimpanzees have ‘cultures’.

Presenting assessments on the impact of tourism to primates, this book weighs its conservation costs and benefits, offering suggestions for improving its conservation benefits in view of the many primates facing extinction and tourism growth. Written for conservationists and scientists, it is also relevant to tourists and tourism professionals.

‘Chimpanzees of the Lakeshore is [Nishida’s] swansong to a long and illustrious career, a memoir of sorts written in the form of an accessibly written and very informative monograph about the chimpanzees of Mahale. It is partly history and partly an overview of Mahale chimpanzee behavior and ecology, the story of the animals, their behavior and ecology, and the conservation issues facing them. It is also a good read for any student interested in primate field studies, and for colleagues interested in gaining some insight into this man and his perspectives on research, career, and life in the field … enhanced by a wealth of blackand-white photos, a gallery of color photos, and selected graphs and tables …’

Bringing together the latest research on the biology of population movement, Causes and Consequences of Human Migration features the evolutionary foundations of human migration.

Numerous examples, including the origin of the Basques and the Caribbean slave trade, provide clear illustration of the causes and biological consequences of human migration.

‘No single volume can encompass every aspect of human long-distance migration, but this volume does a good job of providing a set of examples that look at the common questions of causes and consequences from diverse viewpoints. One of the major strengths of this book is the organization of most chapters by geographic region, making many chapters good resources for review.

Another nice touch is the book’s preface which includes interesting anecdotes about the migrant experience of a number of the authors of the chapters.’

Featuring contributions from leading anthropologists, this volume demonstrates how anthropology can move forward in tandem with discoveries in the biological sciences, reaching beyond the dualisms of nature and society and of biology and culture. The chapters combine wide-ranging theoretical argument with in-depth discussion of material from recent or ongoing field research.

Arcus Foundation, New York

‘In this ambitious and highly original volume, Ingold and Palsson try to lead anthropology toward a fundamental rethinking of the static dichotomy of biology and culture. To a scientist who is trying to comprehend a bipedal, linguistic creature that nevertheless takes several years before it can even move and communicate properly, this makes a good deal of sense … an intellectually very rewarding work.’

Bringing together experts from a range of disciplines, this volume identifies the key barriers to a definition of moral respect that includes nonhuman animals. The chapters link scientific data with normative and philosophical reflections, offering unique insight into controversial issues around the ethical, political and legal status of other species.

Contents: Part I. Moving Beyond Speciesism; Part II. Sentience and Agency; Part III. Towards Respectful Coexistence.

‘Whereas everybody agrees that making the world a better place is a worthwhile endeavour, an open question remains: better for whom? The Politics of Species brilliantly highlights the scientific, moral and political importance of this topical question. In a series of fascinating case studies, leading experts from a broad range of disciplines supply such a reflexion with a rich factual and conceptual basis, linking scientific data with normative and philosophical ideas in a plea for a renewed moral vision of relationships between humans and nonhuman beings.’

From Clone to Bone The Synergy of Morphological and Molecular Tools in Palaeobiology

Edited by Robert J. Asher University of Cambridge

and Johannes Müller Museum für Naturkunde; Humboldt Universität zu Berlin

Featuring contributions from leading researchers, this volume provides perspectives on how molecular biology can inform paleontology, directly and indirectly, to better understand life’s past. Paleobiological questions such as genome size, digit homologies, genetic control cascades behind phenotype, estimates of vertebrate divergence dates, and rates of morphological evolution are addressed.

Contents: Part I. Divergence; Part II. Mechanisms.

‘Fundamental questions in biology, such as the origin of form and the tree of life, were major concerns for the leading biologists of the nineteenth century, but those researchers lacked the research tools to test their ideas.

This book highlights the remarkable synergies between molecular biologists, developmental biologists, and palaeobiologists in providing new understanding. Asher and Müller have assembled an excellent set of chapters on these themes, and these provide incisive introductions to an important interdisciplinary field.’

Comparative Cognition Mary C. Olmstead Queen’s University, Ontario

and Valerie A. Kuhlmeier Queen’s University, Ontario

An undergraduate introduction to cognitive processes across species.

‘Comparative Cognition provides a clear and comprehensive review and an engaging synthesis of the key topics in this rapidly developing field. Like the other classic textbooks on animal cognition this book integrates knowledge of experimental psychology and evolutionary biology, reflecting the roots of this discipline in comparative psychology and ethology.

It also contains a number of novel features, with its enhanced emphasis on both evolutionary function and the underlying neural mechanisms.

These include feature boxes that describe key concepts in more detail, and researcher profiles that capture the contribution of some of the major figureheads in the field. A particular highlight is the series of questions at the end of each chapter, which encourage students to think more deeply about the issues raised, and to design experiments to test the competing hypotheses.’

Confessions of a Religious Paleontologist

Evolving Animals

Robert J. Asher

Wallace Arthur

University of Cambridge

Addressing key questions at the intersection of religion and science, this book summarizes some of the latest, compelling evidence that Darwinian natural selection explains how biodiversity has evolved. Asher draws on his own experiences as both paleontologist and religious believer, arguing that modern science does not rule out religious belief.

‘Evolution and Belief is a great read.

There is a lot of serious science, there is sensible thinking about religion, and above all there is a humility before the big questions that comes from strength of intellect and purpose. I recommend it strongly.’

The Story of our Kingdom National University of Ireland, Galway

Illustrated by Stephen Arthur

Covering all the main animal groups, from jellyfish to mammals, this book considers key questions about evolution.

Its conversational, nontechnical style makes it an ideal text for beginning undergraduates and general readers. The chapters cover both evolutionary pattern (trees, relationships) and evolutionary process (mechanisms, including Darwinian natural selection).

‘Wallace Arthur, a renowned evolutionary biologist, has written another of his excellent and easily approachable books introducing concepts, ideas and evidence of evolution. This new book is written in an informal style that a non-biologist should be able to follow without difficulty. He covers animal evolution from its beginning in deep time, and explains current ideas simply. …

Highly recommended for schools and biology students of all levels as well as the general reader.’

How the Snake Lost its Legs

Understanding Evolution

Curious Tales from the Frontier of Evo-Devo

Kostas Kampourakis

Lewis I. Held, Jr

Presenting evolution as straightforward and intuitive, this book covers core concepts of evolution and clarifies both what evolution is about and why so many people find it difficult to understand. Targeted to undergraduates embarking on any natural science degree as well as anyone wanting a basic introduction to evolutionary biology.

Texas Tech University

Taking inspiration from Kipling’s ‘Just So Stories’, this book explores emerging insights from evo-devo to explain the science behind tiger stripes, camel humps, and many other fascinating animal traits. Held’s unique and engaging style makes this narrative both enlightening and entertaining, guiding students and researchers through even complex concepts.

Université de Genève

978-1-107-62139-8 Paperback £24.99 / US$39.99

‘This is not just another book about why an evolutionary perspective on life is scientific whereas a Creationist perspective is not. In this well-articulated and thoughtprovoking book, Kostas Kampourakis asks why so many people reject evolution, despite the evidence for it and its enormous explanatory power. Kampourakis addresses the question of the acceptance of evolution from a psychological point of view, convincingly demonstrating that it is a rather counter-intuitive idea: conceptual obstacles to understanding, and thus accepting, evolution are rooted in widespread intuitions related to teleology and essentialism, which generate unwarranted preconceptions about the nature of world and life. Kampourakis’ final suggestion is that one should try to understand evolutionary theory without worrying about its religious, metaphysical, or other implications.’

‘In How the Snake Lost its Legs, Professor Held describes the key concepts that are at the foundation of evo/devo, in a language that is clear and simple as well as scientifically accurate, and in a manner that is sure to captivate the curious reader. In the second half of the book, he unveils a series of ‘Just So’ stories, a mixture of fascinating vignettes providing insights into what we now know about the evolution of various creatures, and teasing explorations of what remains to be learned. The book is a wonderful introduction to the field.’

Parasitism The Diversity and Ecology of Animal Parasites

Second edition Timothy M. Goater Vancouver Island University, British Columbia

Cameron P. Goater University of Lethbridge, Alberta

and Gerald W. Esch Wake Forest University, North Carolina

Balancing traditional approaches in parasitology with modern studies in parasite ecology and evolution, this edition presents basic ecological principles as a unifying framework to help students understand parasitism.

This unique approach, explained using a minimum of mathematical detail, encourages students to think more generally and conceptually about parasites and parasitism.

‘Combining the classical approach of presenting a summary of the biology of the major groups of parasites, with a broad overview of parasite ecology and evolution, this new edition will be a wonderful resource for teachers of undergraduate parasitology courses.

The well-illustrated and easy-to-read text is unrivalled at the moment and will be a great tool to turn on a new generation of young minds to the wonders of parasitic organisms. A true parasitological tour de force!’

‘Every so often, a researcher or teacher comes across a book and exclaims ‘I wish I had had a book like this when I started!’ … Statistics Explained is such a book. Steve McKillup writes with empathy for students’ anxiety about statistics. He replaces complexlooking formulae with graphics and realistic examples. He is a biologist writing for fellow-biologists … the book … explains why the statistical test is needed before describing the test. Essential features of good survey and experimental design are clearly outlined … This is not ‘just another biostatistics textbook’. Its sheer readability will restore confidence to the most anxious student while experienced researchers will savour the clarity of the explanations of the common univariate and multivariate analyses … an ideal core text for anyone teaching or studying biostatistics …’
