Konrad Lorenz

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1974

The One Book Everybody Should Read
In this little book Konrad Lorenz has summarized all the major social and environmental problems of our era and every previous one, for that matter. The principle flaws in our contemporary world view, which he does not quite articulate, are that exponential growth is ...

Behind The Mirror: A Search for a Natural History of Human Knowledge

Konrad Lorenz

Harvest Books, 1978

Essential! Order this book so it gets back in print soon!
Konrad Lorenz hasn't recieved the praise his mind deserves. All political leanings aside--he had a nobel prize awarded and revoked--he is a brilliant thinker with essential theories on zoology and the meaning of life. This book outlines some of his early work with ...

King Solomon's Ring: New Light on Animal Ways (Routledge Classics)

Konrad Lorenz

Routledge, 2002

Truly filled with wonder
"Without supernatural assistance, our fellow creatures can tell us the most beautiful stories, and that means true stories, because the truth about nature is always far more beautiful even than what our great poets sing of it, and they are the only real magicians that ...

A beautiful book for all who love nature
Confession - I'd never heard of Konrad Lorenz (even though he won the Nobel Prize in 1973), and I don't usually read books by Naturalists. I was driving between business meetings during the day, when I happened to tune in to BBC Radio 4 (same as National Public Radio ...

On Aggression (Harvest Book, Hb 291)

Man Meets Dog (Routledge Classics)

Konrad Lorenz

Routledge, 2002

Great book every dog lover/owner should have and read
Mr. "Kelley" hasn't read or understood the book and certainly doesn't know much about dogs or training. If he'd checked he might have noticed the first edition was in 1953 and based on research/observations going back to the 1920's. Dogs as 'pets' are a new concept. ...

Here Am I--Where Are You?: The Behavior of the Greylag Goose

Konrad Lorenz, Michael Martys, ...

Harcourt, 1991

Soap writers have nothing on Lorenz!
This book is a piece of academic research, and at times it is hard to follow if you do not have the scientific background necessary. However, there are sections in this book more entertaining that network TV. When you read about the disagreements, battles, breakups, ...
