"Animal conduct is known to many through the romantic tales of popularizers, through the descriptive work of biological observers, or through the attempts of vitalists to show the inadequacy of physical laws for the explanation of life. Since none of these contributions are based upon quantitative experiments, they have led only to speculations, which are generally of an anthropomorphic or of a purely verbalistic character. It is the aim of this monograph to show that the subject of animal conduct can be treated by the quantitative methods of the physicist, and that these methods lead to the forced movement or tropism theory of animal conduct, which was proposed by the writer thirty years ago, but which has only recently been carried to some degree of completion. Many of the statements, especially those contained in the first four chapters of the book, are familiar to those who have read the writer's former publications, but so much progress has been made in the last few years that a new and full presentation of the subject seemed desirable. Chapters V to XIII and Chapter XVI are partly or entirely based on new experiments. Only that part of the literature has been considered which contributes to or prepares the way for quantitative experiments"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
