Publisher Synopsis
From the reviews: "Biosemiotics is the study of semiotic phenomena in animals, and eventually in all living creatures. ! Each chapter is self-contained; however, the editor has done a remarkable job of maintaining continuity and flow. ! Each contains its own extensive collection of references. The fine index will assist many readers in locating related material from the individually written chapters. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and above." (J. Beidler, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (10), June, 2007) Read more...
