The Routledge International Handbook of Comparative Psychology is a comprehensive reference work that provides a balanced overview of current research in the field of comparative psychology and animal behavior. It takes an integrative approach to animal behavior, covering both proximate and ultimate levels of analysis. The book covers core topics in the field and examines emerging research trends to provide readers with a deeper understanding of these ideas. One of the strengths of the book is its diverse perspectives, which come from the wide range of focal species studied by chapter authors, as well as the widespread international representation of the authors and the diversity of departments and research centers at which they work. The first part of the Handbook examines historical and foundational principles and theories in the field, while the second part focuses on individual behavior systems. The final part of the book is devoted to a diversity of ideas that extend our understanding of behavior into new directions. The book is essential for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and established academics, as well as others who are interested in comparative psychology and animal behavior.
