Nikolaas Tinbergen has devoted a lifetime of research to exploring
the behavior of many types of animals in their natural
environments, and has founded centers of worldwide renown for
research and teaching in the behavioral sciences, first in his
native Holland and later at Oxford. His influence extends far
beyond the borders of Europe and zoology proper, and he has
contributed substantially to international and interdisciplinary
collaboration. He has tirelessly worked for the use of scientific
methods in the study of human behavior, both normal and abnormal.
Volume I is devoted to field studies. Volume II includes accounts
of Tinbergen's remarkable laboratory experiments as well as his
significant general papers. These selections explore the search for
animal roots of human behavior, behavior and natural selection,
appeasement signals, and the nature of ethology. "Early Childhood
Autism," written by Professor Tinbergen and his wife, is among the
most important papers. It is a pioneer work in applied ethology and
is a product of thirty years of observing non-verbal expression in
both animals and children. Also included is Professor Tinbergen's
1972 Croonian Lecture, "Functional Ethology and the Human
Sciences." These classic original studies will fascinate the
increasing number of readers interested in the topical problems of
animal and human behavior.
