He lives in Canton, NY with his family and pets.
Clearly the Great Work of understanding human behavior underlies most of the other Great Works of our time. What importance may be placed on our behavior, as a people, as we deal with climate change, the availability of fresh water, appropriate health care, or wars? Behaviorology, as a natural science, offers us hope and new approaches to understand current and historical questions about behavior. Dr. Ledoux s clear prose, illustrative examples, and poignant storytelling make this book s message accessible to many levels of readers as well as useful to those of us seeking new understanding and the opportunity to make a difference. --Dr. William Trumble, Ph.D. Biologist, Professor, University of New Hampshire
Behaviorology helps us succeed in endeavors from training a dog to sit on cue to getting humans to recycle and live sustainably. By familiarizing ourselves with this science, we are not only better able to engage in effective and efficient animal training projects, we are also in a position to help create a better world for both us and our animal friends. Running Out of Time... helps us on both counts. --James O Heare, author of Aggressive Behavior in Dogs and several other best selling books
