Primates in Perspective is the first edited volume to offer a comprehensive overview of primatology since 1987. Forty-four original essays--by fifty-nine leading researchers in the field today--provide wide-ranging and contemporary coverage of all of the major areas of primatology. Arranged in six sections, the text begins with an introduction to primatology and a review of the natural history of the major taxonomic groups within the Order Primates. It goes on to cover methodologies and research design for both field and captive settings; primate reproduction; primate ecology and conservation and their roles in the daily lives of primates; and such aspects of social behavior and intelligence as communication, learning, and cognition. The volume ends with an editorial and discusses the future of primatological research. Ideal for introduction to primate courses, Primates in Perspective can also be used in primate behavior and primate conservation courses. It is also an invaluable reference tool for primate researchers. Features: BLIncludes authoritative works from fifty-nine leading researchers in primatology in all major areas of primate research BLPresents the most detailed coverage of contemporary research available today on non-human primates BLProvides extensive references--along with chapters on methodology and the future of primatology--that are invaluable to beginning researchers

This book provides the first extensive summary of primatological research since the 1987 book Primate Societies...Overall, this book contains many marvellous chapters that will inform primatologists and non-specialists about the variety in ecology, morphology and behaviour among primates. (Mandy Korstjens The Primate Society of Great Britian)
This volume will likely find a place in most primatologists' libraries. It will serve well as a sourcebook for primatologists in both teaching and research contexts.
