Spatial Analysis in Field Primatology
Biological Evolution An Introduction Mike Cassidy | University of Durham
Applying GIS at Varying Scales Francine L. Dolins | University of Michigan, Dearborn
A guide to using geographic information systems (GIS) to research how primates use space, a question central to primate behavioral ecology. Covering cutting-edge methodology along with practical guidance on its use, the volume features research-based chapters on topics including travel routes, the impact of logging and the use of GIS in conservation. • The first volume specifically for primatologists on the application of GIS, with practical guidance to encourage use of the technology, such as advice on the best field transmitters • Research-based chapters show how many of the leading spatial ecologists apply this technology to address central questions in primatology in diverse circumstances and research projects • Shows how GIS can help to assess the impact of logging, mining and hunting, and help to inform primate conservation strategies November 2020 247 x 174 mm 459pp 95 b/w illus. 24 colour illus. 42 tables 978-1-107-06230-6 Hardback £89.99 / US$115.00 P 978-1-107-69430-9 Paperback £39.99 / US$49.99 P
Patterns of Human Growth Third edition Barry Bogin | Loughborough University
This completely revised third edition covers the evolution of the human growth pattern, the biocultural factors that direct its expression, and the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that regulate individual development. It is focused towards students in anthropology, economics, psychology, public health, epidemiology, paediatrics and education. • Approaches human growth from an anthropological and evolutionary perspective, offering insights into human development that aren’t merely clinical and functional • Explains the latest statistical methods for analysing growth with userfriendly examples from the author’s research, engaging students in growth analysis • Introduces new hypotheses about how people grow, providing readers with the most up-to-date ideas and theories in the field Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology

The Biological Universe Life in the Milky Way and Beyond Wallace Arthur | National University of Ireland, Galway
This book is for everyone with an interest in whether there is extraterrestrial life. Recent discoveries of planets beyond the solar system (more than 4000 of them) suggest that the question is not ‘whether?’ but ‘where?’. This book enables general readers to understand current endeavours to answer this question and the related one of ‘what kind?’ • Estimates the likely extent of the Biological Universe (all life-forms everywhere) • Paints a broad-brush picture of the current state of knowledge about exoplanets and the possible existence of life on many of them; and provides a series of key hypotheses about such life • Discusses current and planned space telescopes that will lead to discoveries in the next couple of decades September 2020 228 x 152 mm 358pp 21 b/w illus. 978-1-108-83694-4 Hardback £20.00 / US$24.95
Aimed at undergraduate students in the biological sciences, this book provides a narrative and cohesive account of biological evolution. It encompasses both the ‘micro’ details together with the ‘bigger picture’, offering readers an accessible and up-to-date introduction to the subject. • Provides a more narrative account of biological evolution, offering students an overview of key trends and patterns in the study of the field • Includes sections on Darwin and nineteenth century contemporaries, alongside studies of big data and current religious and philosophical impacts, highlighting the historical and contemporary relevance of the subject • Communicates ideas and information in an enjoyable and effective way, benefiting students who are looking for an introduction to the topic Contents: Preface; Acknowledgements; 1.
