This is an insider's account of many of the personalities and controversies that have accompanied the development of animal behavior studies from a mere branch of ecology or psychology into an independent discipline. It deals with many of the personal and political controversies -- from the McCarthyism of the 1950s to the sociobiology battles of the 1970s -- that shaped both the life of the author and characteristics of the guild to which he belongs.
