This was probably one of the first serious natural history books I ever read, and many decades later it is still a delight. As one reviewer put it, it may now seem dated because so many of the ideas in it are now commonplace (but I still think it deserves more than the 3 stars that reviewer awarded it). So, 5 stars for content. However, one star deducted because the typeface used in this Meridian edition is dreadful and, for me, a pain to read: semi-bold and seemingly very cluttered on the page. It almost looks like a low-definition scan (I'm sure people who know printing have a term for this). It makes me wish my original copy hadn't been "borrowed" by someone...
Our dog trainer recommended this book and my son and mom read it right away. It's on my reading list. But, my son loved all that he learned and found his passion and interest in animals shared with Konrad Lorenz masterful way with words and putting a lot of history and knowledge into one book. Now, I have to read it, too. ;-) Look forward to reading it, that is. ;-D
Konrad Lorenz was one of THE three European founders of ethology (the study of the natural behavior of animals in their environments). Nikolas Tinbergen, Von Frisch, and Lorenz were co-awarded the Nobel Prize in 1973 for their preceding bodies of work which created this new scientific discipline.This was extremely significant to the course of American psychology which, until that time, had grown increasingly dominated by learning theory and the laboratory method. American psychology, influenced by the achievements of physics and medicine,etc., preferred studying behavior under controlled, laboratory conditions as the means for getting nearer "ultimate truth", which, at that time, was thought to almost always involve learning at its core--in accord with the principles and theories of famous American learning theorists such as Thorndike, Watson, Skinner, Hull, et al. Comparative psychology was the American branch that studied similarities and differences between animal species but controlled problems in a laboratory setting were greatly preferred. Observations of behavior, while valuable for designing later lab experiments, were considered less rigorous.So the truths Lorenz, Tinbergen, Von Frisch and their other European naturalist colleagues reported was as significant as the child's observation of the Emperor's new clothes. The truth of a significant lack was revealed. The laboratory method could not examine or reveal all important aspects of animal behavior; the lab method obscured or eliminated those behaviors occurring in natural settings.Lorenz and Tinbergen discovered, explored, and brought imprinting to the attention of the scientific behavioral world. Imprinting is the lasting (often irreversible) effects of early experience (occuring within a critical period of development) on the later behavior of animals. This contrasted with the view of normal learning theories which found the strength of a response was mainly a function of the number of practice trials. (Von Frisch's work was in understanding the "language" of bees.)Lorenz's "King Solomon's Ring" was a significant contribution that enabled lay people to understand the importance of such observations and prepared (sometimes excited) beginning students in the behavioral sciences to take psychology in new directions. Within a few years, learning theory no longer formed the spinal column and much of the skeletal structure of American psychology.I was a psychology graduate student during these years and the laboratory instructor for my university's professor of comparative psychology. It was an exciting time, seeing the old "truths" and axioms become overthrown and helping to search for new ones.The "Ring" is still a delightful and interesting read and inclines the reader to look with different eyes at the behavior of our animal friends. Possibly because I've kept current on research on dogs, I think it's weakest chapter is "The Covenant", Ch. 10, which is on dogs. Here Lorenz decides that most domestic dogs descended from the jackal while a few also descended from the wolf. Having advanced that thesis, he then describes in detail the dichotomy of personality and behavior to which these two antecedents lead and which can be commonly found in all their descendents.WRONG!For the last 40 years, we've become increasingly certain that almost all domestic dogs descended from wolves. Lorenz speculates an incorrect premise and then proceeds to elaborate (with charm and erroneous fact) on this in great detail. It's interesting and illuminating to see how wrong Lorenz can be in some areas and so right (or right enough) in others.So read the "Ring" to understand its and its author's deserved place in the history of behavioral sciences. Read it to increase your observational powers of your animal friends. But please do not read it as divine, ordained truth. Many thousands of scientists have since built on the foundations that Lorenz, Tinbergen, & Von Frisch built along with the contributions of Watson, Pavlov, Skinner, Hull, and others. (Serpell's "The Domestic Dog" provides a good source on more recent information about dogs.)
Lorenz has a fantastic inquisitive scientific mind combined with a humorous writing style that is sure to teach and entertain readers of all ages! I continued laughing through this whole book!
This is a delightful glimpse into the scientific mind of Konrad Lorenz. He is one of the founders of ethology, the study of animal behavior. As you can see in this account, he saw the animals in his studies, not just as objects for observation, but as his friends. He describes the behavior of these friends with insight and humor.
Wonderful book--a naturalist with a sense of humor, love for the world, and great drawing skills talks about his love affair with the animal kingdom and why it should be yours as well.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I got this book and was afraid that it might be very dry and hard for a lay-person to understand. I could not have been more wrong! Lorenz writes in a manner that pulls the reader in and he steers clear of scientific jargon, writing in a manner that is highly enjoyable and understandable. This is a must-read for people who are interested nature and the behavior of animals, birds and other creatures.
A beautiful book whose wisdom and anecdotes will remain with you for decades (this was my third reread). Spend time with a truly civilized, witty man. It also has the most hilarious preface, in which he explains how he came to write the book.
