Editorial Reviews

Proceedings of a course held in Italy, Sept. 1987. These sixteen contributions represent a state-of-the-art account of what is known about house mice (which actually consist of a complex of species and races). Numerous examples of the mouse's extraordinary adaptability are presented. Of interest to both biologists and psychologists in a wide range of areas. Produced from typescripts. Annotation c.
