Book Synopsis
Identified in the 1960s as a phenomenon worthy of investigation, infanticide had, by the 1970s, become the focus of serious controversy. Tracing the history of the infanticide debates, this title investigates key theoretical and methodological themes that have characterized field studies of apes and monkeys in the twentieth century.

Trade Review
"The Infanticide Controversy is an authoritatively researched and attractively written work of historico-sociological analysis of important recent science. It draws on extensive interviews with participants and exhibits a deep knowledge of the technical issues as well as the multiple contexts conditioning debates about them." - Gregory Radick, author of The Simian Tongue"
