Coding and Redundancy: Man-Made and Animal-Evolved Signals
Jack P. Hailman
This book explores the similar ways in which information is encoded in nonverbal man-made signals (e.g., traffic lights, tornado sirens) and animal-evolved signals (e.g., color patterns, vocalizations). Drawing on semiotics, animal behavior, psychology, and allied fields, it surveys animal signaling and an important class of human communication.
