The Domestic Dog : Its Evolution, Behaviour and Interactions with People
Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
Enjoy an unusually scientific approach to the natural history of the dog which examines its evolution, behavior, and interactions with humans rather than providing the usual photo display of breeds. From genetic predispositions towards behavior to social development and communication influences, this presents an intriguing survey of dog developments for students of science.
Review
'... is not just for dog lovers but also for the curious. With enough detailed studies to interest specialists, this book is readable and stimulating. It ranges from the psychology of pets and their owners to the fascinating history of dogs' domestication and diversification as a species.' New Scientist
'... a richly varied, interesting and attractively presented book. This will be an extremely useful reference text for any veterinian, behaviour consultant or research scientist/student interested in companion animal behaviour. Highly recommended.' A. L. Podberscek, The Veterinary Record
'I have read the book with great pleasure. For experts it offers a summary of the current state of research, for non-experts it offers comprehensible, attractive and very useful information. A pleasure to read, a very attractive book, with brilliant illustrations. Highly recommended!' Marie-Jose Enders-Slegers, ISAZ The Newsletter
