This volume offers a comprehensive reference to the latest research on dolphin communication and cognition, reporting on findings from both the laboratory and the field. The contributors review a wide range of topics, including vocalization, abstract reasoning abilities, imitation and learning, social cognition, echolocation, and ethical issues in working with cetaceans. The book begins by examining the dolphin brain and its evolution, the anatomy of its unique sound production and reception systems, and its sensory abilities. It next treats communication, reviewing the complexity of dolphins' vocalization, and then describes research on cognition, from both experimental and developmental perspectives. Finally, the book considers the future of dolphin research, including a series of provocative questions that remain unanswered, posed by the volume's expert contributors"--MIT CogNet.DolphinsBehaviorDolphinsPsychologyAnimal communicationCognition in animalsNEUROSCIENCE/GeneralCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/GeneralDolphinsBehavior.DolphinsPsychology.Animal communication.Cognition in animals.599.53/1513Herzing Denise L.Johnson Christine M(Christine Mary),OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910797521403321Dolphin communication and cognition3684761UNINA03725nam 2200745 450 991082050960332120201023111955.01-4742-8691-71-4742-8692-510.5040/9781474286916(CKB)3710000000840827(EBL)4659854(SSID)ssj0000081340(PQKBManifestationID)11988031(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000081340(PQKBWorkID)10113014(PQKB)11524785(Au-PeEL)EBL4659854(CaPaEBR)ebr11252525(CaONFJC)MIL955200(OCoLC)957700465(OCoLC)1201426694(CaBNVSL)9781474286916(MiAaPQ)EBC4659854(EXLCZ)99371000000084082720201023h20201997 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe myth of the modern homosexual queer history and the search for cultural unity /Rictor NortonLondon, England :Washington :,1997.London, England :Bloomsbury Publishing,20201 online resource (338 p.)Bloomsbury academic collections.

What is queer history? ; The evidence of things not seen ; Lesbian historiography -- Queer culture. The great queens of history ; Queer (sub)cultures ; Queer folk and culture queens."With careful reasoning supported by wide-ranging scholarship, this study exposes the fallacies of 'social constructionist' theories within lesbian and gay studies and makes a forceful case for the autonomy of queer identity and culture. It presents evidence that queers are part of a centuries-old history, possessing a unified historical and cultural identity. The volume reviews the fundamental historiographical issues about the nature of queer history, arguing that a new generation of queer historians will need to abandon authoritarian dogma founded upon politically-correct ideology rather than historical experience. Norton offers a clear exposition of the evidence for ancient, indigenous and pre-modern queer cultural continuity, revealing how knowledge of that history has been suppressed and censored and sets out the 'queer cultural essentialist' position on the key topics of queer history ? role, identity, bisexuality, orientation, linguistics, social control, homophobia, subcultures, and kinship patterns."--Provided by publisher.Gender Studies: Bloomsbury Academic CollectionsMale homosexualityHistoryGaysHistoryHomosexualityHistoryHomosexualityhistoryPhilosophybicsscMale homosexualityHistory.GaysHistory.HomosexualityHistory.Homosexualityhistory.Philosophy306.76/62/0971.25bclLB 44000rvkMS 2870rvkNorton Rictor1945-1624234OCLCECaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910820509603321The myth of the modern homosexual3959118UNINA
