Recommended by C. Blum. I haven't had a chance to read Konrad Lorenz's books yet, but they may be prove to be useful; what are his views on evolution? Lorenz is considered to be the founder of ethology, that part of zoology which studies behavior. iirc, Dr. Blum's main reason for his endorsement was Lorenz's acceptance of teleology as a form of scientific explanation--animal behavior is purposive and his method as a naturalist -- trying to observe animals without interference or contrived experiments.
