Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'How Animals Find Their Way About' is a rigorous scientific exploration of the mechanisms behind animal navigation and homing. Written by Etienne Rabaud, this work investigates how various creatures-ranging from insects to mammals-utilize sensory information to navigate across vast distances and recognize specific locations. The study focuses on the concepts of distant orientation and place-recognition, moving beyond abstract theories of instinct to provide a more empirical understanding of biological movement.Throughout the book, Rabaud analyzes the roles of vision, olfaction, and other sensory perceptions in the navigation process. By examining experimental data and naturalistic observations, the author discusses how animals interpret environmental cues to maintain their course and return to their nests or breeding grounds. This work offers a fascinating look into the early developments of ethology and animal psychology, providing a detailed framework for understanding the complex relationship between an organism and its spatial environment. It remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of biological science and the remarkable capabilities of the animal kingdom.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
