El Feb 7 2011, Whiteshelf dijo:
If you are planning to go on a Safari, this is by far the best book to study before you go and take with you. In (only) 456 pages, Estes begins with a description of general animal behavior such as mating and social behavior, followed by guidelines on observing African mammals. Once he covers the general points, Estes describes each group more specifically, from ruminates (like antelope), other hoofed animals, carnivores, and primates- from Bushbabies to Apes. Many, many simple diagrams illustrate behavior characteristics,saving on wordiness and allowing you to glimpse the behavior in with just a glance. In addition to the diagrams, each animal is described according to the categories as follows: What it is; Where it lives (including good places to see it); Ecology; Activity; Social and mating behavior; Maternal care of offspring; etc. Finally specific behaviors are described and diagramed, such as aggression, courtship, and submission. It is very exciting to see these behaviors actually taking place! This book will give you amazing insight into the world of African mammals- it is like seeing in color instead of black-and-white.

Sobre Wonder Book
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.
