Curious Naturalists

Here is that rare and wonderful book where a scientist describes the results of his scientific field work WITH his personal thoughts about the plants and animals with which he is working. This book demonstrates that natural history discoveries are available to anyone with a love and curiosity about nature and are to be found anywhere you are from yard to exotic wilderness. Niko Tinbergen's book is a classic because it inspires AND informs, making science accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Classic

it was a required reading book. it wasn't the worst one but i definitely wouldn't pick it up usually. he's very good at telling stories.

A fantastic book written by Nobel prize winner Niko Tinbergen. I recommend this book for adults and advanced children alike. I read this when I was in 6th grade and it was the book that lead me on my path to a career in neuroethology.Tinbergen opens us up to the natural world around us even to those of us who are city dwellers.Exposing us up to both the world of nature and the methodology of the naturalist he reveals something that the modern day world more and more distracts us from - patient observation and the results that it yields.I recommended this book to a close friend of mine who has two children, a two year old and kindergartner and he uses this book as a manuel in their nature hikes.I assure you you will not be disappointed if you purchase this book.

I read this book as a teenager. It stimulated my mind as few others had. I've been recommending it ever since. You won't be disappointed.

I liked his research on the ethological movement. If you are interested in psychology and this kind of research/studies...this is a good read

Very nice book about animal behaviour
