The Domestic Dog: Its Evolution, Behaviour and Interactions with People Paperback – 1 Jun. 2009

This was a gift for a family member who had specifically asked for this book. The condition it came in was fine, exactly as advertised, and speedily despatched so perfectly happy. I can't tell you anything about the book itself as it was a gift and like a good sister I didn't read it myself before gift-wrapping it. My brother thought it was excellent though.

Love this textbook, so much interesting information, good for students of zoology, or jut someone with an interest in dogs. My advice is not to try and read from page 1, but to use the index to find topic that interest you and read the book that way :)

A collection of scientific abstracts on literature research/experiments relating to dogs and their behaviour. Guaranteed to put some dog-related myths to rest.Among the myriad soft, barely researched, and oft-emotional literature relating to dogs and dog behaviour, this collection of articles stands out as one of the few oases of reliable, science-based facts.Only minus points:- I do not detect the logic behind the chosen subjects. The chosen articles are all dog-related, but the weight given to this or that subject seems random. This is perhaps as a result of limitations in available research?- If you are not used to read scientific material, you might find the style prohibitively dry and put the book down before you even reach the second page.

excellent for using as a study tool. Not a book for general reading but useful for gaining statistics for studies done on various aspects of dogs and our relationships with them. Using for a diploma.

Read this book as part of my Diploma in dog behaviour. Very good, but also very scientific with a lot of tables, charts, etc and results and comparisons of experiments, studies, etc.. Not your average book for dog owners.

Very interesting and informative, used it for references in course work

I bought this book to supplement the reading on my college class and to be fair I haven't read it from cover to cover, just dipped in and used bits that I need. For that it has been very good

Needed as a reference book for a course I'm doing and certainly fits the bill.
