King Solomon's Ring

"As Holy Scripture tells us, the wise king Solomon, the son of David, "spake also of beasts, and of towl, and of creeping things, and of fishes," (I Kings IV. 33). "Konrad Lorenz is one of the outstanding naturalists of our day. I have heard him referred to as the modern Fabre, but with birds and fishes instead of insects and spiders as his subject-matter. However, he is more than that, for he is not only, like Fabre, a provider of an enormous volume of new facts and penetrating observa-tions, with a style of distinction and charm, but in addition has contributed in no small degree to the basic principles and theories of animal mind and behaviour." – Julian Huxley
