Details the maintenance of primates in naturalistic environments, and describes numerous methods for providing environmental enrichment. Nowhere in the book is it asserted that research with captive primates should not be done; rather, the contributors seem intent that it should be done with care, respect, and attention to primates' need to have some control over their physical and social environment and the events of their daily life.
