A look at parenting in the animal world by Naturalist, Susan Allport, making one of the hottest topics in evolution and ecology accessible to anyone who owns an aquarium, bird house or pregnant pet.
Allport brings invaluable attributes: a broad foundation in animal behaviour, scientific skepticism and a humorous mix of epidemiologic detachment and intense personal concern.
It is a well-researched, extremely informative and authoritative book, recommended as important reading material in a course on behaviour, and for anyone curious about the world, especially if they are a parent or plan to be one.
