**ANNOUNCEMENT**
The Comparative Cognition Society Press is proud to announce the
publication of "Avian Visual Cognition" by Dr. Robert Cook of Tufts
University.
It can be accessed for free at www.pigeon.psy.tufts.edu/avc/
This cyberbook provides a comprehensive and systematic survey of
research on visual cognition in birds. It is both a researcher's handbook of
modern comparative cognition and an exciting multimedia cyberbook complete
with engaging text, drawings, figures and videos that should be ideal for
the classroom as well. Dr. Cook, an internationally known researcher in
animal cognition and without peer in the area of electronic publication, has
brought together 31 leading scientists of visual cognition in birds to
contribute in creating a wide-ranging and thorough summary of recent
contributions to the science.
Dr Cook has edited and prepared this revolutionary new type of
scholarly publication for presentation and distribution exclusively on the
World Wide Web. The book was further reviewed by the publications committee
of the Comparative Cognition Society, and we now publish Avian Visual
Cognition jointly with its editor. The Comparative Cognition Society Press
is sponsored by the Comparative Cognition Society. Among its many goals,
this scientific society is particularly interested in helping to advance the
electronic publication of scientific information in the area of animal
cognition. Avian Visual Cognition shows the value of this communication.
In keeping with the spirit of the Web, Avian Visual Cognition is
freely available to all: scholars, scientists, students, and interested lay
people. No passwords, no fees, or no gimmicks. Enter the URL below to surf
Avian Visual Cognition to enjoy its science and its lucid explanations.
Because of its free nature, the Society asks you to distribute this note
to your colleagues and students so that they also may use and enjoy Avian
Visual Cognition. The society and editor welcome comments and suggestions
about the format and usefulness of the book.
