The Tinbergen Legacy - M.S. Dawkins, T.R. Halliay, R. Dawkins (Editors)
KORTE INHOUD
Tinbergen was one of the founding fathers of ethology and received together with Konrad Lorenz and Karl von Frisch the Nobel Prize for Biology and Medicine in 1973.
He had a deep knowledge of the natural world and was a consummate experimenter in the field. A brilliant communicator, he was particular responsible for bringing ethology to the English-speaking world.
A celebration of the man and his legacy was held at Oxford in 1990. This book is the record of that occasion. Tinbergen worked with, or trained, many of the most prominent people now working in animal behaviour, and several of them are contributors to the book. The authors were asked not to focus retrospectively on Tinbergen's work, but to carry his ideas and his methods forward and apply them to contemporary research issues. Historians of science will find valuable insights into the mind and work of a genius, but it is mainly a book for young, active ethologists and behavioural ecologists.
