摘要

In his most recent book, The Nesting Season: Cuckoos, Cuckolds, and the Invention of Monogamy (The Belknap Press, $29.95), biologist Bernd Heinrich explores the mating and parenting repertoires of birds, interweaving his own observations with some of the latest and most fascinating scientific findings. The book opens with a captivating account of his attempts to parent young goslings. This is followed by a description of the close relationship between Ruth O'Leary-a woman who has raised many Canada geese-and her gosling ward, Little Sir. Heinrich uses these stories to make the point that we identify with geese because their bonding behavior (between mates as well as between offspring and parents) resembles our own. Throughout the book he finds occasion to note differences and commonalities between humans and birds.
