A curious little mouse that whirls in endless circles became a doorway into the study of behavior. Robert Yerkes uses the dancing mouse to probe how animals sense, learn, and remember, in a founding work of experimental animal psychology. Careful, inventive, and genuinely pioneering. Watch a spinning mouse teach science how minds are made.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
