Dr Nathan Emery (Cambridge, UK) is Senior Lecturer in Cognitive Biology at Queen Mary University of London. His research interests have focused on the cognitive abilities of corvids, apes and parrots, and he is currently working with the ravens at the Tower of London. He has authored two previous books and is on the editorial boards of Animal Cognition and the Journal of Comparative Psychology. His work has been extensively reported internationally.
“In this sparkling, superbly illustrated summation of the cognitive
science, ethology and hot debates, Emery encapsulates the ‘featured
ape’.”
*Nature*
“Emery has brought this research together in a hugely accessible
popular science book, while still maintaining the level of critical
thought and intellectual novelty that one would expect from one of
the leading researchers in the field.”
*Current Biology*
“Chapters on spatial memory, communication, cultural intelligence,
tool use and the sense of self provide a great introduction to the
subject in an accessible and engaging manner.”
*BBC Wildlife*
"An in-depth look at recent research and fascinating lab
experiments, the book published by Ivy Press overturns any notion
that birds are somehow dumb. Instead, it argues with an
overwhelming amount of evidence that a number of bird species
should be considered more as “feathered apes”".
