For example after observing two doves tear each other apart in when he put them together in a cage for breeding purposes he writes, "Only in two other instances have I seen similar horrible lacerations inflicted on their own kind by vertebrates: once, as an observer of the embittered fights of cichlid fishes who sometimes actually skin each other, and again as a field surgeon, in the late war, where the highest of all vertebrates perpetrated mass mutilations on members of his own species." I would recommend this book to anyone interested in animal behavior or animals in general. Although the book is about his observations of the animals, there are times when he allows how the war affected him to seep into the writing. He was German and much of his research was done in the 1930s and beyond. One thing I found especially interesting is how World War II seemed to have affected Lorenz. The writing of the books is observational rather than scientific and very accessible to someone without a science background. In this book, Lorenz tells the reader about his observations of a number of animal species. Although he raised the animals and kept them at his home, he gave them free range of his home and the world around him in order to get a more realistic view of their behavior in their natural environment. Konrad Lorenz was an ethologist (someone who studies animal behavior) who raised many animals at his home to study. King Solomon's Ring is considered a classic on the subject of animal behavior.

Sally Lloyd-Jones has captured the heart of what it means to find Christ in all the scriptures, and has made clear even to little children that all God's revelation has been about Jesus from the beginning-a truth not all that commonly recognized even among the very learned." - Dr. True, that's to be expected when you combine the mesmerizing illustrations of Jago and the award-winning writing of Sally Lloyd-Jones, a Brit with an uncanny knack for storytelling."

I’ll admit, I was a little panicked going into EXTINCTION MACHINE because I saw some rumor online declaring it the last Joe Ledger Novel. Here we have EXTINCTION MACHINE ( Amazon), the fifth Joe Ledger Novel by Jonathan Maberry. Eeek! It’s Joe Ledger time! Please allow me a moment to geek out… Thanks, I needed that.

He told me that he wanted a big International of all former soldiers in all countries it seems that there are a quarter of million members already in England and Germany and even more in Italy. To him the war against war is the highest object of life. This man could surely stand in our time as the best type of the reformer. One would have thought that such a war would have produced a hundred reporters who would have shocked the world by merely telling what they had seen – the plain facts yet only one man has attempted to do so. Sensational books are nearly always bad books: this is a sensational book that is great because of its truth. Le Feu (“Under Fire”) of Henri Barbusse is the book we needed.
