About This Item
Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1979. Hard cover. Like New/Good. 10x8x0. Remainder mark top edge. The dustjacket has some tears and edgewear. A fascinating account of a year in the life-cycle of the greylag goose, from egg to adult, with lots of beautiful color photos. Geese are observed in a variety of situations, and are shown fighting, courting, nesting and raising goslings. Their interaction with the researchers involved in the study of the birds over the course of the year is also described. Konrad Zacharias Lorenz (1903 - 1989) was an Austrian zoologist, ethologist, and ornithologist. He shared the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Nikolaas Tinbergen and Karl von Frisch. Lorenz is recognized as one of the founding fathers of the field of ethology, the study of animal behavior. He is best known for his research of the principle of attachment, or imprinting, through which in some species a bond is formed between a newborn animal and its caregiver.
