On Aggression (Paperback, 2 New Edition)

First published in the 1960s, "On Aggression" has been the target of criticism and controversy ever since. It is not Lorenz's careful descriptions of animal behaviour that are contentious, but his extrapolations to the human world that have caused reverberations resulting in a statement adopted by UNESCO in 1989 and subsequently endorsed by the American Psychological Association that appers to condemn his work. But does "On Aggression" actually make the claims implicit in the Seville statement? In an introduction by Professor Eric Salzen, the debate about Lorenz's work is set in its social and political context and his claims and those of his critics reassessed.
