This is a marvelous book. My son read this in a college course and recommended it to me. I was hesitant for fear it would be too academic or dry but the opposite was true. It was full of scientific information, based on the author's observations, but it was also full of great stories about the life he lived while he did his research. No wonder Sapolsky got a MacArthur genius grant.
