A major revision of the original work, this volume examines all of the basic methodological issues involved in measuring behavior, designing comparisons of control and experimental conditions, and interpreting behavioral data. It emphasizes methods of direct measurement, within subject designs, and graphical analytical tactics. Stressing the unique methodological requirements of behavior as a subject matter, it avoids a cookbook approach by examining methodological strategies and tactics in terms of their influence on the researcher's behavior. Written as a text for use in both undergraduate and graduate courses, this volume contains a number of features that aid student mastery, including detailed chapter outlines, boxes explaining supplementary or specialized material, study guides for both text and boxes, and a glossary of terms.

The readings featured in this volume are compiled from the authors' previously published papers and chapters, as well as newly written materials. At a more advanced level, the readings address certain specialized topics. However, these readings are thematically consistent with the chapters in the companion volume, making them especially suitable as supplementary material. Together with its companion volume, it provides an integrated and coherent account of how to study behavior. Most topics treated in traditional research methods texts are covered in detail, with particular reference to behavior as a subject matter. However, the work is distinctive from other texts in that its topics are organized not around inferential statistical methods, but the needs of a behavioral subject matter and the goal of bringing the researcher's behavior under its control. This approach closely integrates each new chapter with previous chapters, and the result is especially intuitive for students.

What's it like to grow grapes? Not just a few bunches hanging from an arbor in your back yard. But a whole field of them -- thousands of vines which produce so many grapes that it takes an army of people top pick them when they get ripe.These grapes are not for eating (although they taste pretty good), but will be sold to wineries which will press out the juice to make fine wines to drink with dinner or be enjoyed at festive occasions.What does it take to do all this? All kinds of farm machinery, like tractors and sprayers and mowers, and gadgets to keep birds, deer and other hungry beasties from eating the fruit while it is growing on the vines. You also need ways to keep the vines healthy while the grapes ripen, to protect them from diseases and bad weather.It's hard work, but it can be fun-- an adventure which leads to a bountiful crop at harvest.The Vineyard Book serves not only children as entertaining reading, but also adults who might be considering planting a vineyard.
