Essays cover such primates as lemurs, New World monkeys, Old World monkeys, and apes. Readers experience the excitement of discovery and the challenges of primate field research. Primate Ethnographies can be used as a textbook or a companion reader.   MySearchLab is a part of the Strier program. Research and writing tools, including access to academic journals, help students explore ethnography in even greater depth. To provide students with flexibility, students can download the eText to a tablet using the free Pearson eText app.
