About this book
Rejecting the mechanistic biases of modern psychology in favour of an ecological approach, Reed provides detailed discussions of animal behaviour, neural mechanisms, perception, and action. A key feature is analysis of topics often left out of ecological psychology, especially communication, sociality, and language.
