Product Description

Review

"[A] fascinating study.... on how and why ideas about primate society have changed. The volume consists of dialogues among scientists from different disciplines, national traditions, scientific cultures, generations, standpoints, and genders.... A wonderful reflection on the discipline of primatology and on science in general." - Science Books and Films; "Sparkling with ideas, bristling with controversy, this volume offers new understandings of what science is, how it is made, and the special position of primate studies in society. Innovative and authoritative.... The result is truly wonderful." - Londa Schiebinger, Pennsylvania State University

Product Description

A provocative collective reflection on primatology and its relations to broader cultural, historical, and social issues, Primate Encounters brings together both scientists and those who study them to investigate precisely what kind of science primatology is.
