Stating the obvious
A challenge to whatfemales 'should' be doing
Good lord . . . But the grammatical and spelling mistakes that ABOUND through her book are inexcusable and the reason I give it three stars. Her mistakes are those you'd expect to see in a paper by a high school student. She uses "it's" rather than "its" (page 120), uses an apostrophe for pluralization (page 130), forgets commas (pages 155 and 156), forgets an apostrophe (page 201) and has subject-verb disagreements in number (pages 2 and 156). Aside from that, she commits spelling atrocities that would have been caught with any spell-check or careful reading: "matruing" (page 60), "menarchy" (page 65), "mht" (presumably for "might," page 124), "twenth-three" (page 141), "squeeking" (page 155) and "renown" (instead of "renowned", page 192). As a student at her University (Cornell), it was mortifying to read it, knowing that not only did she not bother to do a simple spell-check, but that Cornell didn't either when they published it. Frankly, I expect more from an Ivy League university and the faculty whom it has chosen to employ. Even more ironic is that Cornell prides itself (and was nationally recognized last fall) for its emphasis on writing. I shudder to think how many red marks would be on a Meredith Small paper were she to turn one into a freshman writing seminar.

Editorial Review Product Description In more ways than we may sometimes care to acknowledge, the human being is just another primate--it is certainly only very rarely that researchers into cognition, emotion, personality, and behavior in our species and in other primates come together to compare notes and share insights. This book, one of the few comprehensive attempts at integrating behavioral research into human and nonhuman primates, does precisely that--and in doing so, offers a clear, in-depth look at the mutually enlightening work being done in psychology and primatology. Relying on theories of behavior derived from psychology rather than ecology or biological anthropology, the authors, internationally known experts in primatology and psychology, focus primarily on social processes in areas including aggression, conflict resolution, sexuality, attachment, parenting, social development and affiliation, cognitive development, social cognition, personality, emotions, vocal and nonvocal communication, cognitive neuroscience, and psychopathology. They show nonhuman primates to be far more complex, cognitively and emotionally, than was once supposed, with provocative implications for our understanding of supposedly unique human characteristics. Arguing that both human and nonhuman primates are distinctive for their wide range of context-sensitive behaviors, their work makes a powerful case for the future integration of human and primate behavioral research. |

Editorial Review Product Description This will be the first time a volume will be compiled focusing on South American monkeys as models to address and test critical issues in the study of nonhuman primates. In addition, the volume will serve an important compliment to the book on Mesoamerican primates recently published in the series under the DIPR book series. The book will be of interest to a broad range of scientists in various disciplines, ranging from primatology, to animal behavior, animal ecology, conservation biology, veterinary science, animal husbandry, anthropology, and natural resource management. Moreover, although the volume will highlight South American primates, chapters will not simply review particular taxa or topics. Rather the focus of each chapter is to examine the nature and range of primate responses to changes in their ecological and social environments, and to use data on South American monkeys to address critical theoretical questions in the study of primate behavior, ecology, and conservation. Thus, we anticipate that the volume will be widely read by a broad range of students and researchers interested in prosimians, New World monkeys, Old World monkeys, apes, humans, as well as animal behavior and tropical biology. |

Editorial Review Product Description Primate Biogeography is a subject rarely addressed as a discipline in its own right. This comprehensive source introduces the reader to Primate Biogeography as a discipline. It highlights the many factors that may influence the distribution of primates, and reveals the wide range of approaches that are available to understanding the distribution of this order. The biogeography of primates in the past is a major component of our understanding of their evolutionary history and is an essential component of conservation biology. This book will appeal to primatologists, physical anthropologists, zoologists, and undergraduates in these areas. |

Editorial Review Product Description This volume details the different ways that nocturnal primates avoid predators. It is a first of its kind within primatology, and is therefore the only work giving a broad overview of predation – nocturnal primate predation theory in particular – in the field Additionally, the book incorporates several chapters on the theoretical advances that researchers studying nocturnal primates need to make. |
