AlbakiReads Editorial
A cross-disciplinary study of rat behavior
S. A. Barnett brings zoological observation, physiology, and experimental psychology into a single examination of rats as a central subject for behavioral research. The book places wild-rat studies alongside work on laboratory “white rats” and relevant findings from other species, without committing itself to one biological or psychological school. Its chapters address movement through living space, feeding, social and reproductive activity, instinct, learned behavior, motivation and drive, and connections between the brain and behavior. A selected bibliography, current to the original edition’s publication, extends the book’s value as a record of the field’s earlier research foundations.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Students of zoology, psychology, or medicine interested in animal behavior
- Readers seeking a cross-disciplinary account of rat research
- Those interested in wild and laboratory rat behavior
