"The Cognitive Animal is the most complete and up-to-date collection of available information on the study of animal cognitive abilities. It covers numerous species and areas of research and is written in a way that makes the information accessible to readers who are not specialists in the cognitive sciences. The book also makes clear that a great deal more research needs to be done in this field, and it presents a challenging future agenda. The more we understand about the cognitive skills of the amazing animals with whom we share our planet, the greater will be our respect for them."--Jane Goodall, author of The Chimpanzees of Gombe and The Ten TrustsPlease note: I've changed the wording slightly as well as the book titles associated with Jane Goodall. Thank you.
