Although the behavior and ecology of primates has been more thoroughly studied than that of any other group of mammals, there have been very few attempts to compare the communities of living primates found in different parts of the world. In Primate Communities, an international group of experts compares the composition, behavior, and ecology of primate communities in Africa, Asia, Madagascar, and South America. They examine the factors underlying the similarities and differences among these communities, including their phylogenetic history, climate, rainfall, soil type, forest composition, competition with other vertebrates, and human activities. As it brings together information about primate communities from around the world for the very first time, it will quickly become an important source book for researchers in anthropology, ecology, and conservation, and a readable and informative text for undergraduate and graduate students studying primate ecology, primate conservation, or primate behavior.

Store Description

WOLFHOUND BOOKS is a small online bookstore located in the wild and beautiful West Kootenays of British Columbia, Canada. It is operated by the sole proprietor, Glenn Anderson and named after the late 'Sophie' his part-Irish Wolfhound dog. Wolfhound Books evolved from the selling of used books at local farmer's markets for many years, mostly at the Cottonwood Farmer's Market in Nelson, BC. Here Glenn developed a reputation as a purveyor of interesting and quality used books. An early online presence at ABEbooks under the auspices of 'Caribou Books' occurred from about 2003 until 2008. Wolfhound Books is characterized by the eclectic finds from many years of book hunting. Themes generally reflect the interests of the owner such as Metaphysical books, Eastern religions, Politics, History, Nature, and a broad range of other academic interests. Different flavours are periodically stirred in as new collections are added. One notable and large acquisition features much and sometimes obscure Canadian poetry and fiction.
