    An amazing book...a scientist and naturalist of the first rank...a nature writer of uncommon talent., 'An amazing book by an amazing author. Heinrich has documented a level of intelligence and social sophistication rarely even dreamed to exist in birds....[He] is a scientist and naturalist of the first rank, champion ultramarathoner, woodsman of skills seldom seen in modern times, and not least, as Mind of the Raven illustrates, a nature writer of uncommon talent.' (Edward O. Wilson), "An amazing book...a scientist and naturalist of the first rank...a nature writer of uncommon talent." -- Edward O. Wilson "Heinrich has a rare ability to embed dense scientific explications within graceful, lightfooted nature writing." -- David Quammen, New York Times Book Review "Bernd Heinrich is one of the finest living examples of that strange hybrid: the science writer." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review "A compelling exploration of the nature of consciousness with an unremittingly delicious jaunt in the woods.... a grand storyteller." -- Baltimore Sun "Heinrich brings alive the romance of field research...A splendid book." -- Library Journal (starred review), A compelling exploration of the nature of consciousness with an unremittingly delicious jaunt in the woods.... a grand storyteller., "An amazing book by an amazing author. Heinrich has documented a level of intelligence and social sophistication rarely even dreamed to exist in birds."-- Edward O. Wilson"Heinrich has a rare ability to embed dense scientific explications within graceful, lightfooted nature writing. . . . The mind of Bernd Heinrich is a big, antic thing, like a raven, and meant to live outdoors." -- David Quammen, "New York Times Book Review""Bernd Heinrich is one of the finest living examples of that strange hybrid: the science writer. . . . No definition of God has ever made me feel as comfortable, small and important in the universe as Heinrich's insight into the mind of the raven."-- "Los Angeles Times Book Review""I have read Bernd's book and find that it is captivating, for it sheds light not only on the mind of the raven, one of the most intelligent creatures in nature, but also on the mind of Bernd Heinrich, one of the most insightful and original biologists on earth."-- Tom Seeley, professor of biology, Cornell University"Mind of the Raven combines a compelling exploration of the nature of consciousness with an unremittingly delicious jaunt in the woods.... Heinrich is a grand storyteller."-- "Baltimore Sun""Bernd Heinrich writes with great authority and enthusiasm about the union of curiousity and science. The result is a wonderfully entertaining book about ravens and theexcitement of discovery." -- John Alcock, author of "Sonoran Desert Summer""For a long time the mental experiences of animals were forbidden territory for scientists, but Heinrich's critically cautious observations, experiments, and ideas have opened our eyes and our minds to the richness of ravens' behavior."-- Donald R.Griffin, author of "Animal Minds""Fascinating science and brilliant writing.

    Synopsis
    In Mind of the Raven, Bernd Heinrich, award - winning naturalist, finds himself dreaming of ravens and decides he must get to the truth about this animal reputed to be so intelligent. Much like a sleuth, Heinrich involves us in his quest, letting one clue lead to the next. But as animals can only be spied on by getting quite close Heinrich adopts ravens, thereby becoming a "raven father," as well as observing them in their natural habitat, studying their daily routines, and in the process painting a vivid picture of the world as lived by the ravens. At the heart of this book are Heinrich's love and respect for these complex and engaging creatures, and through his keen observation andanalysis, we become their intimates too. Throughout history there has existed an extraordinary relationship between humans and ravens. Ravens, like early humans, are scavengers on the kills of great carnivores. As scavengers, ravens were associated with hunters they found in the north: wolves and, later, men. The trinity of wolf, man, and raven in the hunt is an extremely ancient one. In considering the appeal of the raven, Bernd Heinrich suspects that a meeting of the minds might reside in that hunting trinity. Heinrich's passion for ravens has led him around the world in his research. Mind of the Raven takes you on an exotic journey--from New England to Germany, Montana to Baffin Island in the high Arctic--offering dazzling accounts of how science works in the field, filtered through the eyes of a passionate observer of nature. Heinrich has a true gift; through his stories, his beautiful writing, illustrations, and photography, the ravens come alive. Each new discovery and insight into their behavior is thrilling to read. just as the title promises, the reader is given a rare glimpse into the mind of these wonderful creatures. Following the dictum of Leonardo da Vinci--"It is not enough to believe what you see. YOU Must also understand what you see"--Bernd Heinrich enables us to see the natural world through the eyes of a scientist. At once lyrical and scientific, Mind of the Raven is a modern classic., An award-winning scientist presents a lyrical and scientific exploration of the raven, one of the most complex and engaging creatures known to man. Photo insert. Line drawings throughout., Heinrich involves us in his quest to get inside the mind of the raven. But as animals can only be spied on by getting quite close, Heinrich adopts ravens, thereby becoming a "raven father," as well as observing them in their natural habitat. He studies their daily routines, and in the process, paints a vivid picture of the ravens' world.
