Editorial Review Product Description An established bestseller, The Articulate Mammal is a concise and highly readable introduction to the main topics in psycholinguistics. This fifth edition brings the book up-to-date with recent theories, including new material on: Requiring no prior knowledge of the subject, chapter by chapter, The Articulate Mammal tackles the basic questions central to the study of psycholinguistics. Jean Aitchison investigates these issues with regard to animal communication, child language and the language of adults, and includes in the text full references and helpful suggestions for further reading.

A good book if I can say so
Accessible and delightful introduction to psycholinguistics * Good coverage both of the arguments for standard Chomskyan theory, and the experimental evidence that fails to support it * Excellent coverage of child language acquisition * Explanations of important experiments--how they worked, what they showed, and why they mean what they mean I've used this book successfully in 3 introductory psycholinguistics courses, and have sent a chapter from it to my grandmother to explain what linguistics is.Can't get more accessible than that!At the same time, though, it's useful for anyone who wants to get a handle on the field; it's where I go when I want a refresher. ...

Whistle Pigs, Bog Lemmings, and Wolverines Plus it's fun to watch the woodchuck amble across the lawn, chomping the heads off of the dandelions--I guess I can put up with the occasional gnawing noises. This book, first published in 1957 and brought up-to-date in 1995 is filled with the natural histories of eighty-three mammals living in the Great Lakes ecosystem, livened by the occasional wry personal anecdote.There are numerous black-and-white photographs and drawings, including range maps and multiple views of mammal skulls."Mammals of the Great Lakes Region" is meant to be backpacked into the field and has chapters on capturing small mammals and specimen preparation. Some of the author's language is specialized but there is a good glossary at the back of the book that explains terms like "altricial--poorly developed at birth, usually with eyes and ears closed, often lacking hair, and requiring large amounts of parental care." There is no need to rush out and apply for a scientific collecting permit and a set of traps, as the author includes detailed information on the identification of mammals by their signs and habits.For instance, the bog lemming feeds on grasses, rushes, and sedges and since the seed heads tend to be out of its reach, it snips the stems into evenly spaced lengths.This small mammal leaves other clues:"Piles of bright green [excreted] pellets and discarded plant clippings, all trimmed to about the same length, are indicative of bog lemming activity."Another visual:"[Their] runways interconnect feeding sites, toilet areas, and the nest." "Mammals of the Great Lakes Region" is both fun to browse and good for a straight read-through on a cold winter's weekend, when many of the local mammals are hibernating, or scampering through their cozy tunnels beneath the snow.

Editorial Review Product Description Evolutionary maternal effects occur whenever a mother’s phenotypic traits directly affect her offspring’s phenotype, independent of the offspring’s genotype. Some of the phenotypic traits that result in maternal effects have a genetic basis, whereas others are environmentally determined. For example, the size of a litter produced by a mammalian mother—a trait with a strong genetic basis—can affect the growth rate of her offspring, while a mother’s dominance rank—an environmentally determined trait—can affect the dominance rank of her offspring. The first volume published on the subject in more than a decade, Maternal Effects in Mammals reflects advances in genomic, ecological, and behavioral research, as well new understandings of the evolutionary interplay between mothers and their offspring. Dario Maestripieri and Jill M. Mateo bring together a learned group of contributors to synthesize the vast literature on a range of species, highlight evolutionary processes that were previously overlooked, and propose new avenues of research. Maternal Effects in Mammals will serve as the most comprehensive compendium on and stimulus for interdisciplinary treatments of mammalian maternal effects. |

Excellent resource
A "Must-Have" For All Wildlife Artists! This makes all of the "East African Mammals"series of books by Jonathan Kingdon an absolute necessity.The text givesa wonderful insight into the natural history as well as the historicalancestry of the majority of East Africa's wild children. But evenmore, it is Mr. Kingdon's exquisite pencil renderings of the individualspecies as well as the structure of their musculature, that make thesebooks so special. These musulature drawings, in turn, are furtherenhanced by deeper dissection-like illustrations revealing the deepermuscle structures responsible for much of the movement and support for themammal in question. This volume takes us through the largest of theantelope on the African continent - the Eland, both Giant and Common, theSable antelope, and both Kudu, Greater and Lesser - as well as the vastselection of East Africas' smallest antelope species.The Duikers, andKlipspringer, among others, are handled in all their delicate detail. Besides photos of these little antelope, these illustrations are absolutelyneeded in order to produce accurate renderings.I cannot stress enough,the importance of the anatomy that is revealed within these pages. Thebooks in this series are therefore especially indispensable to the WildlifeRestorer (taxidermist) as a guide to anatomy that we rarely get to see"in-the-flesh" as it were. I can, therefore, wholeheartedlyrecommend this series of books to anyone who cares enough about theirchosen field of art, to pursue all ends to collect as much referencematerial as possible. These books are an excellent addition to thewildlife artists' library.
