Good book about rodent behaviour.

At the moment I'm reading S.A Barnett's; A study in behaviour: Principles of ethology and behavioural physiology, displayed mainly in the rat.

Don't let the title fool you, this book covers a lot about mammalian behavioural science, I'm learning a lot from reading this, there's tons of stuff in this book that you'll never find on the internet. Though this was published in the 70s, it's still pretty much up to date and correct.

Though this book is aimed at zoology students, it's very easy to understand and has a good layout. Barnett uses the rat as a model, but goes on to explain about other rodents. Lots of information on health and genetics and how inheritance works in animals. Explains lots of things reguarding day-to-day behaviour, why rodents do this or the other and how they learn, how their brain works.

I recommend it to anyone who is interested in zoology.
