Spatial Orientation: The Spatial Control of Behavior in Animals and Man Book

This major study of animal orientation in space launches the Princeton Series in Neurobiology and Behavior. Bringing together for the first time the important work done on spatial orientation over the past twenty-five years, and reviewing research up to and including recent attempts to apply the methods of cybernetics, Hermann Schone discusses the most significant concepts in the control of position and movement in space. His book covers areas from simple stimulus-reaction processes to navigation and the complex mechanisms underlying spatial perception.
