Solomon, The Legend Goes, Had A Magic Ring Which Enabled Him To Speak To The Animals In Their Own Language. Konrad Lorenz Was Gifted With A Similar Power Of Understanding The Animal World. He Was That Rare Beast, A Brilliant Scientist Who Could Write (and Indeed Draw) Beautifully. He Did More Than Any Other Person To Establish And Popularize The Study Of How Animals Behave, Receiving A Nobel Prize For His Work. King Solomon's Ring, The Book Which Brought Him Worldwide Recognition, Is A Delightful Treasury Of Observations And Insights Into The Lives Of All Sorts Of Creatures, From Jackdaws And Water-shrews To Dogs, Cats And Even Wolves. Charmingly Illustrated By Lorenz Himself, This Book Is A Wonderfully Written Introduction To The World Of Our Furred And Feathered Friends, A World Which Often Provides An Uncanny Resemblance To Our Own. A Must For Any Animal-lover!
