An excellent portable undergraduate student text

This book has been written with students in mind - it is pithy, full of classic references, links, key points and summaries and is still small enough to be carried around. It is also cheaper than its rivals such as Alcock. It has 8 chapters that would make an ideal skeleton for a short undergraduate module that assumes nothing more than a woolly understanding of what animal behaviour is.
