Description: First paragraph of preface: This book has been written to answer the general question: What is the study of animal behavior about? It is also intended as a textbook, which means that it attempts to give a fair and accurate picture of a field of knowledge. It is designed for the general reader or the student who wishes to learn something for himself. With this in mind I have tried to use a minimum of scientific praseology, so that the book can be read without interruptions or outside help. At the same time I have made no effort to disguise the fact that animal behavior is a genuine science and, as such, must employ clearly defined terms and precise logic in order to produce true general principles.
