Altmann and Jeanne Altmann presents the most rigorous and systematic scientific account of baboon behaviour and ecology ever compiled from direct field observation. Drawing on years of meticulous data gathered in the wild, the authors chronicle the daily movements, foraging strategies, social dynamics, and environmental adaptations of Amboseli baboon populations, constructing a landmark quantitative portrait of primate life in its natural habitat.\n\nA cornerstone of behavioural ecology and primatology, this authoritative work argues that understanding animal behaviour demands the precision of field science rather than anecdote, and it instructs future researchers through its exacting methodology and statistical rigour. The Altmanns' prose is measured and scholarly, yet animated by a genuine passion for the natural world, making this an indispensable reference for zoologists, ecologists, and anyone captivated by the question of what it truly means to survive in the wild. What secrets does the African savannah still hold for those willing to look closely enough?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203390546139,"sku":"2026200013553-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/91eee9f0-b3cf-4246-9717-a2d35a6d7b81.png?v=1788148285","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013553-secondhand-baboon-ecology-african-field-research","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
