Reviews

From the reviews:“This book focuses on macaques, the most widely distributed and behaviorally flexible nonhuman primate species. … a useful, timely collection of essays highlighting the diversity of the genus and its interface with humans. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals.” (L. Swedell, Choice, Vol. 50 (8), April, 2013)“The Macaque Connection … explores the many ways in which humans and macaques have connected in the past and the present. … The Macaque Connection focuses on providing a rich historical perspective on a wider range of macaque species. The Macaque Connection therefore has greater relevance for historians and cultural anthropologists. … of interest to primatologists––especially macaque researchers.” (Crystal M. Riley, International Journal of Primatology, Vol. 34, 2013)
