PSYC 16 (Ruys) - Animal Behavior: Books

Select print and online resources on human and non-human animal behavior to guide students to research topics for their research proposals.

Books

Books are great for providing in-depth information about all aspects of your topics. This is a great place to find A LOT of information on your topic in just one resource. Remember that you do not have to read the whole book; just use the index to find the relevant pages for the information you are trying to find.

The books and ebooks listed below are a sampling of what is available in the LPC Library. Use the Library Catalog to search for other titles in LPC collections.
