Economics in Nature: Social Dilemmas, Mate Choice and Biological Markets

'This book provides an excellent insight into the economics of biological markets in behavour.' Mark Fellowes, Biologist '... an excellent book, and one that may mark an important change in the way we describe, and more importantly think about, natural systems involving partner choice.' Tom Sherratt, Animal Behaviour '... an excellent insight into the economics of biological markets in behaviour and while mainly of interest to evolutionary ecologists and anthropologists, it deserves to be dipped into by a wider audience.' Mark Fellowes, Biologist 'This book deserves to be widely read, especially by those interested in cooperative behaviour, and so should increase awareness and stimulate more applications of the market approach.' International Society for Behavioural Ecology Newsletter 'The structure of the information presentation in the book is excellent. In addition, the authors and editors have been very successful in producing a writing style that combines the detail for specialists and the ease-of-reading necessary for the lay population. The information is not only scientifically thought-provoking but it can serve as a basis for advanced level discussion groups or seminars in behavioral science. In this sense one can only congratulate the authors and editors of the volume on their job well performed.' Ethology
