A nice book to learn about Ethology and Animal Behavior

I'm glad I found this book. It is a very good text to start learning abou animal behavior and ethology. I had the impression tha this book is easier to read and more organized than other books about the subject, especially if you have a Psychology background, since it's approach to the subject dosen't require a lot of Zoology knowledge from the reader, as other books on the subject do.
