ITT: we post some of our favourite zoology-related books.

Pic related: it's Sensory Exotica by Howard Hughes
(features a look at some of the most studied sensory systems not existing in humans (echo-location, sonar, etc))

(I spend too much time looking at porn, because I thought that said Erotica and was like, "wtf?"...)

Not too detailed, but I really liked the chapter in Guns, Germs, and Steel that dealt with animal domestication.

Birdsong by Don Stap

Not a hard read by any means, but it gives a nice summary of the biology and evolutionary research leading to birdsong.

second

also the classics, the selfish gene, the red queen, stephen jay gould shit that is not too pretentious, the god who wasnt there, blind watchmaker, the diposable male

The most zoology related books I have though are all my field guides and handbooks and stuff. I have several books that are just hundreds of pages of picutres of animals and their info (maximilian etc).... A dozen or so on fish (axelrod etc...), one on just darters, several more on just reef tanks and associated fish, many coral books (Veron's corals of the world etc...), Knopfs giant clam book, a dozen or so on just birds, four or five on specifically cage and aviary birds, two or three large reptile books, and two books that describe all the breeds of domestic cats, and about 5 books that describe all the breeds of domestic dogs.

When I get home I could list them all for ya'll and recommend the outstanding ones if ya want.

OP here:

Quite the collection! I'd be really thankful if you'd list a couple that you swear by.

Thanks a lot!
