Nikolaas Tinbergen won a Nobel Prize in 1973 for his pioneering studies in animal behavior. This, his first major work, introduced the subject of ethology to an American audience more than forty years ago, and it is still considered one of the best introductions to the field. Long out of print, this reissue allows a new generation of readers to explore this classic for themselves. In it, Tinbergen attempts to organize the study of animal behavior into a coherent whole, focusing on how animals behave in response to stimuli, how physical and neurological characteristics shape instinct, how individual animals develop behavioral patterns, and how they adapt to changing conditions, and concludes with an extensive discussion of evolutionary aspects of behavior. Anyone interested in the natural world, the behavior of animals, or ecology will find this book essential reading.
