Reviews

"This dictionary departs from other standard dictionaries! in that every definition is drawn from a cited reference; many have several. This allows readers who want to see how these terms were used in the context of a scholarly article or monograph to find the full citation in the bibliography at the back of the book and to retrieve the reference in a library. Definitions are, however, complete enough to give readers the full meaning of terms!. Highly recommended for all college, university, and public libraries." R. G. Sabin, Rice University, CHOICE, September 2001 Vol. 39 No. 01 "Having the opportunity to field lots of questions from docents, keepers, curators, etc. has made me appreciate references that are easy to use and provide answers to their questions. This book, the second edition from CRC Press, does just that!. Educators, docents, keepers, curators and librarians will find this book useful. Highly recommended for zoos and aquariums." Thane G. Johnson, Library News for Zoos and Aquariums, June 2001 -- Page 16 "... serves a more important purpose than just supplying meanings and definitions!. By providing the entire range of usages, definitions, and meanings of terms, it strips them of political and cultural baggage!. In attempting to effectively convey the now multi-disciplinary field of animal behaviour, Barrows has made his book relevant to a wide audience, including students, teachers, and others interested or active in biology."
