King Solomon's Ring: New light on animal ways (Routledge Classics)

Product Information

Crafted uniquely in the Land of Israel reading about the miracles that took place in Egypt (Psalms 105:32-33). L’anello di Re Salomone è un saggio del 1949 in cui Konrad Lorenz, fondatore dell'etologia che ha dedicato la vita allo studio del comportamento degli animali, descrive una parte dei suoi esperimenti con varie specie quali i pesci, le taccole (un tipo di uccello), le oche, i cani e i gatti. Due to the proverbial wisdom of Solomon, it came to be seen as an amulet or talisman, or a symbol or character in medieval magic and Renaissance magic, occultism, and alchemy. Kennett (1660–1728) makes reference to a "pentangle of Solomon" with the power of exorcising demons.

Devo tuttavia confessare che, » scrive Lorenz nel capitolo "Armi e morale", « nel mio sentimentalismo, sono profondamente commosso e ammirato di fronte a quel lupo che "non può" azzannare la gola dell’avversario, e ancor più di fronte all’altro animale, che conta proprio su questa sua reazione!

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.

Although Lorenz did not discover the topic, he became widely known for his descriptions of imprinting as an instinctive bond. He said, 'it is written, Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and whosoever erreth thereby is not wise,[15] and it is also written, Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the understanding.

The Seal of Solomon was also discovered in Palestine during the Ottoman period, when it was etched in stone above windows and doors and on Muslim tombs. He isn't all science, he tells personal stories, funny ones too that made me snicker, while always being extremely respectful. But man should abstain from judging his innocently cruel fellow creatures, for even if nature sometimes “shrieks against his creed”, what pain does he himself not inflict upon the living creatures that he hunts for pleasure and not for food? It was Solomon's custom to take off the ring when he was about to wash, and to give it to one of his wives, Amina, to hold. Did you know that, when it comes to combat, a turkey fights like a wolf while a peacock fights like a panther?

This book has for decades enjoyed such a reputation that my expectations were set high when I started reading. Cuenta la leyenda que el rey Salomón podía hablar con las bestias, las aves, los peces y los gusanos. Lo consiglio agli amanti degli animali e per tutti coloro che desiderano gettarsi nelle braccia della natura.I suoi studi sono stati importantissimi per lo sviluppo di questa scienza e in questo libro, più che spiegare delle teorie, racconta come sia riuscito ad arrivarci, racconta alcune delle sue giornate scandite nell'attesa e nell'osservazione di diverse specie di animali e di come questi reagiscano al comportamento dell'uomo.

Un bellissimo atto d'amore verso il mondo animale, accessibile a chiunque e non solo ai naturalisti. How Jackdaws choose a sovereign or how you can grow a self sustaining ecosystem inside a water tank : a natural aquarium.The ring was made from brass and iron, and the two parts were used to seal written commands to good and evil spirits, respectively. The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal.
