Nikolaas Tinbergen Knihy

Der Verhaltensforscher Niko Tinbergen verbrachte 1932/33 vierzehn Monate bei den grönländischen Inuit, die damals noch als Jäger und Sammler lebten. Sein faszinierender Bericht, der 2017 wiederentdeckt wurde, fesselt bis heute durch die genaue Beobachtung von Menschen und Tieren in einer lebensfeindlichen Umgebung und ist zugleich ein Lehrstück über die Beschränktheit des modernen Europäers.

"This book describes the activities & some of the discoveries of a small number of naturalists who have joined me, at one time or another, in the pursuit of our common hobby; the study of the behaviour of animals in their natural environment. It covers about 25 years of biological sightseeing & exploration & tries to tell, without the use of technical language, a story of our field work and the joys of discovery."—Niko Tinbergen 27 linecuts.
