Book Description:The Foundations of Ethology is Konrad Lorenz's personal appraisal of the field he helped to establish and which he made his life's work: the science of animal and human behavior. Nobel Prize-winner and author of the controversial best seller On Aggression, Lorenz presents in this, his latest book, both a pioneer's perspective on a science less than fifty years old and an influential critique of its development, its major discoveries, and its fundamental ideas. He airs his views on such topics as the interpretation of behavior, the value of comparative studies, and the question of animal instincts. He sheds new light on current issues such as genetic programming, learning processes, curiosity, play, and many other facets of ethology. Finally, he addresses the controversial questions concerning the similarities and differences between animal and human behavior. A rare and fascinating work, The Foundations of Ethology is a unique overview of a scientific field by its most creative pioneer.
