4th edition

‘...the author’s explanations are clear and his questioning approach stimulates the reader...’ - Kevin Edwardson, Science Co-ordinator, Sheffield College, UK

Co-published by Sinauer Associates, Inc. and W.H. Freeman and Company

Principles of Life cuts through the thicket of excessive detail and factual minutiae to focus on what matters most in the study of biology today. Students explore the field’s most essential biological ideas and information in the context of research data. The result is a textbook that is hundreds of pages shorter than the current majors introductory books. Principles of Life makes an active-learning approach a reality for lecturers and students.

Julian Sutton, Torquay Boys’ Grammar School, UK

This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the core concepts of biology. Starting with an overview of the diversity of life, the author covers a range of subjects from the naming and grouping of organisms through natural selection, molecular and cell biology, genetics, reproduction, physiology, ecology and biotechnology. Written in a student-friendly style and with an emphasis on explaining concepts rather than cataloguing facts, the book is fully illustrated with copious diagrams and photographs. Exercises with answers are also included. Beginning students in biology or first-year undergraduates with biology as a subsidiary will find this book invaluable.

‘This is an excellent text for our undergraduate bioscience students who require advanced training in physical chemistry. It is primarily a physical chemistry textbook, and it does not scrimp on the key concepts of thermodynamics, kinetics, and molecular quantum mechanics. At the same time, the presentation style is clear and understandable, and the text is sprinkled with just enough biochemistry to maintain our students’ interest.’ -Alan Van Orden, Colorado State University, USA This book is ideal for use in one-semester introductory courses within life sciences. The emphasis is on helping students to a solid understanding of physical concepts, rather than focusing on precise mathematical development or experimental ideas. Assuming only basic skills of differential and integral calculus, and providing end-of-chapter problems with both physiochemical and biological applications, it is an accessible and useful guide to the subject.

Timothy Taylor, University of Bradford, UK. Author of The Buried Soul and The Prehistory of Sex. Contributor to Nature, Scientific American, and World Archaeology. Editor-in-chief of the Journal of World Prehistory.

Drawing on the latest fossil evidence Taylor argues that every step of the way humans made choices that assumed greater control over their own evolution. This continues today as we push the frontiers of technology creating artificial humans. September 2010 256pp Hardback £17.99

Eugenics and the Nature-Nurture Debate in the Twentieth Century

Human Morality & Sociality Evolutionary and Comparative Perspectives Edited by Henrik Høgh-Olesen, Aarhus University, Denmark and Co-editor of Journal of Anthropological Psychology

Aaron Gillette, University of Houston-Downtown, USA

‘Gillette covers a development in intellectual history that, I believe, was formative in generating today’s conventional wisdom about human nature, yet has scarcely been treated by historians of science. The book is well written and researched, and brings interesting new facts to light.’ - Steven Pinker, Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology, Harvard, and author of The Stuff of Thought Using a variety of archival sources, Aaron Gilette traces the history of early twentieth century developments in sociobiology and evolutionary psychology, offering a new way to look at the timely and perennial ‘nature-nuture’ debate and why key scientific discoveries have been thwarted, manipulated, and misunderstood over the last century. Contents: Introduction / The Rebirth of Sociobiology and Evolutionary Psychology / Foundations for a ‘New’ Synthesis / Recent Studies on Human Sexuality / PART II: THE BIRTH OF SOCIOBIOLOGY AND EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY / The Animal Nature of Humans / Earlier Studies on Human Sexuality / Evolution, Ethics, and Culture / PART III: THE DEATH OF SOCIOBIOLOGY AND EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY / The Rise of Environmental Behaviorism / Evolutionary Psychology under Attack / The Death of Evolutionary Psychology / The Dark Forest / Conclusion February 2011 Paperback

‘I was excited to see a book that included ‘Action’ both in the title and content since this aspect of perception is usually missing...I think this book will help to complete the picture of perception and action.’ - Richard Wilkie, Lecturer in Perception, Action and Cognition, University of Leeds, UK With a style that is both detailed and accessible, Zanker provides students with a solid understanding of how our sensory and perceptual systems operate and interact with a dynamic world. His text explains the scientific mechanisms involved, and discusses the costs and benefits of these mechanisms within an evolutionary, functional framework, to encourage important questions such as: What is a given sensory mechanism needed for? How does the environment determine how senses operate? How does action affect and facilitate perception? This unique, interdisciplinary framework allows students to see perceiving and acting as embedded in particular environments and directs them to think about the functional nature of these systems.

Principles of Animal Communication

Exploring Animal Behavior Readings from American Scientist 5th edition Edited by Paul W. Sherman, Cornell University, USA and John Alcock, Emeritus, Arizona State University, USA

2nd edition Jack W. Bradbury and Sandra L. Verencamp, both Emeritus, Cornell University, USA

Published by Sinauer Associates, Inc.

Animal communication continues to be one of the most active and popular topics in behavioural ecology, neurobiology, and evolutionary biology. As the title of this book suggests, the emphasis here is on identifying general principles that apply broadly across taxa and modalities. At the same time, major effort has been expended to integrate these principles with the accepted principles of economics and other fields of science. Given this integrative nature, animal communication is a topic that can serve both as an appealing entry point to science and as a coalescing of separate disciplines. While retaining the basic order of topics of the previous edition, this second edition is a completely new book, with over 90% of the citations published since the first edition. Figures and photos are now full colour and the book has a larger format that makes for easier reading. Contents: Preface / Signals and Communication / Sound and Sound Signal Production / Sound Signal Propagation and Reception / Light and Visual Signal Production / Visual Signal Propagation and Reception / Chemical Signals / Short Range Modalities / Signals and Information / Economics of Communication / Signal Evolution / Conflict Resolution / Mate Attraction and Courtship / Social Integration / Environmental Signals / Communication Networks / The Broader View: Microbial, Plant, and Human Communication

This anthology contains thirty-eight articles published since 1977 in American Scientist, the journal of the scientific society Sigma Xi. Articles illustrate how behaviourists think about and conduct their research, and provide greater insight into the behaviour of selected vertebrate and invertebrate species than most textbook accounts. Article authors include E.O. Wilson, Kay E. Holekamp and Bert Hölldobler. Contents: PART I: DOING SCIENCE / PART II: THE MECHANISMS OF BEHAVIOR / PART III: THE EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY OF BEHAVIOR / PART IV: THE ADAPTIVE VALUE OF REPRODUCTIVE BEHAVIOR / PART V: THE ADAPTIVE VALUE OF SOCIAL BEHAVIOR / PART VI: HONEY BEE BEHAVIOR AT MULTIPLE LEVELS OF ANALYSIS A Full Table of Contents is Available at: www.palgrave.com June 2010 Paperback

Second Nature The Inner Lives of Animals Jonathan Balcombe, Animal Behavior Research Consultant for the Washington DC-based Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and the Author of Pleasurable Kingdom

‘...fascinating, wellwritten, consistently thought-provoking, and deserves a wide readership.’ - The Guardian ‘Jonathan Balcombe has brought together... evidence that animals have far more in common with us humans than we might like to suppose. As well as cunning and intelligence, they can also show kindness and sensitivity.’ - The Evening Standard ‘...captivating and disquieting...’ - Human Givens ‘...J.M. Coetzee...praises Balcombe as “a scientist who has escaped the narrow orthodoxies of institutional science”. This is true.’ - Times Literary Supplement Jonathan Balcombe’s follow-up to his successful first book, Pleasurable Kingdom, is an eloquent and scientifically informed account, which shatters the myth that animals eat and reproduce mindlessly and shows how we humans have to learn to treat them as sentient beings capable of feelings, pain and emotions.

Although aimed at molecular and cell biologists, who may not be familiar with phylogenetic or evolutionary theory, it also serves students who may be familiar with phylogenetic theory but are unfamiliar with the tools used to apply that theory. The reader is led step-by-step through identifying sequences that are homologous to a sequence of interest, downloading these sequences from databases, creating multiple alignments, and using several different methods to construct trees.

Published by Sinauer Associates, Inc.

Authored by ecologists who each have more than ten years’ experience teaching the subject, Ecology offers a balance of subject matter emphasis, clearly presented concepts with engaging examples, and the most current information available in the field. Ecology focuses on the integration of material across the levels at which the subject is studied. Its structure ensures that students are always reminded of connections between levels of the ecological hierarchy, and links to evolution. In this new edition, improvements have been made to how the book works as a learning and teaching tool. New to this edition: • Roughly two-thirds of chapters now include a major climate change example to enrich student understanding of ongoing climate change. • Many chapters now include an Ecological Toolkit, describing ecological “tools” (e.g. remote sensing and GIS, mark–recapture techniques, stable isotope analysis, and DNA fingerprinting) to ensure that theory is constantly related back to practice. • Each chapter includes 3 to 6 Figure Legend Questions that encourage students to grapple with the figure and ensure they understand its content. • New and revised ‘Hands-On Problems’ ask students to manipulate data, explore mathematical aspects of ecology in more detail, interpret results from real experiments, and analyze simple model systems using simulations. • A new type of inquiry exercise has been added: ready-to-go problems that take about 10 minutes to do and can be used in class or assigned as homework.
