Animal architects : building and the evolution of intelligence

by James L. Gould, Carol Grant Gould

This book explores how animal architecture reveals the inner workings of animal minds. By examining building techniques from simple insect nests to complex structures, it analyses the roles of instinct, planning, and cognitive capabilities in animal behaviour.
