Animal behavior has long been a battleground between the competing claims of nature and nurture, with the possible role of cognition in behavior as a recent addition to this debate. There is an untapped trove of behavioral data that can tell us a great deal about how the animals draw from these neural strategies: The structures animals build provide a superb window on the workings of the animal mind. Animal Architects examines animal architecture across a range of species, from those whose blueprints are largely innate (such as spiders and their webs) to those whose challenging structures seem to require intellectual insight, planning, and even aesthetics (such as bowerbirds' nests, or beavers' dams). Beginning with instinct and the simple homes of solitary insects, James and Carol Gould move on to conditioning; the "cognitive map" and how it evolved; and the role of planning and insight. Finally, they reflect on what animal building tells us about the nature of human intelligence-showing why humans, unlike many animals, need to build castles in the air.

Shells, nests, mounds, bowers, galleries, dens, lodges, and the creative critters that build them are explored in this fascinating introduction to animal habitats. The featured creature carpenters dig, mold, spin, and weave their homes with an intricacy that will fascinate budding zoologists. Children will learn how these industrious animals can even adjust their homes for temperature and comfort, make escape hatches, and store food for their young. Familiar industrious animals such as beavers, prairie dogs, and spiders are included alongside the more exotic wombats, oven birds, and naked mole rats as memorable examples of animals that adapt to their environments and even renovate them.
