Reviews

From the reviews: In this volume, primatologists Gursky-Doyen and Supriatna assemble discussions about ongoing research conducted by an international community of scholars. Studies include the social behavior, ecology, and, in particular, conservation of these often-endangered relatives of humans. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty. (E. Delson, Choice, Vol. 48 (1), September, 2010) If you are in the market for a book on Indonesian primates, there is no doubt that you could not do better than this handsome volume. It will inevitably be purchased by, and for, libraries for reference, and it will date quickly. If you need this book for your PhD or dissertation, you will buy it.
