'This is a fantastic book and the best yet on HBE. The authors are standard bearers and the new leaders in the field.' Keith Prufer, University of New Mexico, Main Campus 'A blend of epistemological humility and an omnivorous taste for the best tools from any field one encounters distinguishes both the field and this excellent edited volume. Each of the 17 chapters is a rich examination of an aspect of behavior, probed with a variety of methods and tools, extracting sense from the noise, uncertainty, and compelling variety that inheres to human behavior, but without pushing for trite simplicity. For me, this book offers recipes one might wish to try in approaching new questions, new environments, or new populations.' Robert C.
