Niko Tinbergen's pioneering work in ethology won him a Nobel Prize, co-authored with Konrad Lorenz, a one-time Nazi. This is his story, illustrated throughout with photographs and with Tinbergen's own drawings.

This affectionate account is the first biography of Niko Tinbergen, the Pulitzer Prize-winning naturalist who turned a passion for observing nature into a revolutionary new branch of science that illuminated the study of animal behavior. 55 halftones. Line illustrations.

A must read for anyone interested in ethology, this is also a fascinating study of a great scientist, and deserves to be read by a wider audience as well.
