I'm looking for a book that provides a good overview of primatology, one aimed more at researchers rather than a popular science book. Ideally, I'd like something with an ethology/ecology angle with an eye towards phylogeny.

My preference would be for an e-book.

    $\begingroup$ Lucas, I put more of a professional spin on this so it's not as much of a "shopping"-type question. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @jonsca I appreciate your effort, but you did change the nature of my question. I definitely want a good book, that is very important, it really does not matter if it is a canonical text or not. The ability to soundly judge things good or bad is the true value of professionalism ;) $\endgroup$

I've had some experience with Karen Strier's 'Primate Behavioural Ecology', and it's solid. It's a nice overview with (obviously) a strong ecology/ethology bent. I don't think it comes in ebook though.

Here's the Amazon link.
