9781107024144, Cambridge University Press. Why do dogs behave in the ways that they do?. How have we ended up with so many breeds of dog, and how can we understand their role in contemporary human society?. The Domestic Dog Its Evolution, Behavior and Interactions with People Second edition of a classic text on canine science and behavior, incorporating two decades of new evidence and discoveries. James Serpell (Edited by) 9781107024144, Cambridge University Press Hardback, published 8 December 2016 430 pages25.3 x 19.4 x 2.3 cm, 1.08 kg 'The first edition of this book back in 1995 took a lead in sparking modern research in dogs. Now, more than twenty years later, the present edition rightly harvests the huge scientific knowledge that has been established by researchers all over the world ? This book is a collection of chapters contributed by excellent experts on dog research. While behaviour remains the main focus of most chapters, the reader is also informed, amongst other things, about our actual understanding of dog domestication, the ecological perspectives of feral dogs and changing views in dog training. I warmly recommend this book to readers who want to be updated on this rapidly advancing field of canine science, and prefer first-hand knowledge from dedicated scientists.' Ádám Miklósi, Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary Why do dogs behave in the ways that they do? Why did our ancestors tame wolves? How have we ended up with so many breeds of dog, and how can we understand their role in contemporary human society? Explore the answers to these questions and many more in this study of the domestic dog. Building on the strengths of the first edition, this much-anticipated update incorporates two decades of new evidence and discoveries on dog evolution, behavior, training, and human interaction. It includes seven entirely new chapters covering topics such as behavioral modification and training, dog population management, the molecular evidence for dog domestication, canine behavioral genetics, cognition, and the impact of free-roaming dogs on wildlife conservation. It is an ideal volume for anyone interested in dogs and their evolution, behavior and ever-changing roles in society. List of contributors 1. Introduction James Serpell Part I.
