Der kleine nackte Affe
Schon 1967 erklärte der englische Zoologe und Verhaltensforscher Desmond Morris in seinem Bestseller 'Der nackte Affe' eindrucksvoll, wie der Mensch im Laufe der Evolution aus dem Tierreich hervorging - eine Primatenart, die ihre Wälder verließ, ihr Fell verlor und sich körperlich wie geistig weiterentwickelte, ohne ganz ihre tierischen Urspru¿nge abzulegen.Jetzt, mehr als fu¿nfzig Jahre später, erscheint dieses wegweisende Buch endlich in einer kindgerechten Version. Es vermittelt jungen Leserinnen und Lesern auf verständliche und spannende Weise, wie der Mensch zu dem wurde, der er heute ist.Gerade in einer Zeit, in der Kinder mit Fragen nach Identität, Umwelt, Zusammenleben und ihrer Rolle in der Welt aufwachsen, ist ein Buch wie dieses aktueller denn je. Es zeigt: Wir sind Teil der Natur - und haben gleichzeitig besondere Fähigkeiten, mit denen wir Verantwortung u¿bernehmen können. 'Der kleine nackte Affe' fördert Neugier, kritisches Denken und ein naturwissenschaftliches Verständnis des Menschen - wichtige Grundlagen in einer Welt voller Herausforderungen.

101 Surrealists
A concise compendium of the lives and work of the 101 most significant Surrealists by one of the last surviving members of the movement, bestselling author and artist Desmond Morris, who knew several of the key participants personally. 2024 marks the centenary of Surrealism, one of the most influential artistic movements of the modern era. In 1924, André Breton wrote the Surrealist Manifesto, a call to arms which established Surrealism as a literary and artistic movement. Rather than attempting to analyse the work of the Surrealists, bestselling author and Surrealist artist Desmond Morris focuses on them as remarkable individuals. What were their personalities, their predilections, their character strengths and flaws? Did they enjoy a social life or were they loners? Were they bold eccentrics or timid recluses? Featuring 101 artists, from the famous - Duchamp, Dali, Magritte, Miro, Carrington, Kahlo, Picabia, Ernst and others - to the neglected - Mesens, Rimmington, Sage, Fini, Bellmer, Colquhoun and Gonzalez - this book draws on the author's personal knowledge of the Surrealists, capturing in concise form their life histories, idiosyncrasies and often-complex love lives. Surrealism was both spectacular and international, shaped by the darkest, most irrational workings of the unconscious. Shocking, witty and always entertaining, Morris's potted summaries and punchy anecdotes illuminate striking variations in artistic approach to the Surrealist philosophy, both in the artists' works and lives. A complement to Morris's earlier biographical volumes, 101 Surrealists encapsulates each artist in new and abridged texts that convey with immediacy the impact and significance of each of the 101 artists featured.

Horsewatching
How intelligent are horses? Why do they toss their heads and what makes them paw the ground? After spending more than twenty years studying the body language of the human species, Desmond Morris turned his attention to the behavior of some of our closest animal companions. First he looked at dogs, then cats, and in this book, horses. As Curator of Mammals at the London Zoo, he was able to study closely the zebras and wild horse in his charge. And as a racehorse owner, he scrutinized the glamorous world of Thoroughbred racing.Throughout his long involvement with horses, Desmond Morris has never stopped asking questions. In Horsewatching, first published in 1988, he set out to answer them. As a zoologist and a lifelong student of animal behavior, he approaches the horse world in an unusual way, dealing with topics often ignored in equine literature. In addition to examining details of behavior, Dr Morris considers such questions as why horseshoes bring good luck, why we don’t eat horses, why jockeys are allowed to whip their mounts and why we call a bad dream a nightmare. And for punters everywhere, he applies his zoological mind to the all-important question of why some horses run faster than others.

Das Leben der Surrealisten
Der Surrealismus begann als gemeinsame Rebellion gegen all jene Mächte, die die Welt in den Krieg geführt hatten. Ein Aufstand auch gegen verlogene Religion, Demagogie, Prüderie und usurpierte Autoritäten. Wie lebten sie wirklich, diese inzwischen so berühmten Künstlerinnen und Künstler? Desmond Morris, selbst surrealistischer Künstler, kann davon berichten wie kein Zweiter. Er gehörte zu ihrem Kreis und kannte sie alle. Ihre Vorlieben und Macken. Ihre Arbeitsweisen und ihre Geheimnisse. Ihre Freundschaften, Feindschaften, Liebschaften, Frivolitäten und dramatischen Zerwürfnisse. Er porträtiert einsame Wölfe, rebellische Vorkämpferinnen, brillante Exzentriker. Geistreich und unterhaltsam erzählt Desmond Morris von den wirklichen Menschen, die Kunstgeschichte schrieben. Seine zweiunddreißig Lebensbilder der Surrealisten sind selbst Geschichte.

Owl
From ancient Babylon and the Greek goddess Athena to Edward Lear's The Owl and the Pussycat; from Harry Potter's Hedwig and the grandiloquent, absent-minded Wol from Winnie the Pooh to David Lynch's Twin Peaks, owls are woven into the fabric of human culture. Beautiful, silent, pitiless predators of the night, these enigmatic beings dwell throughout the world yet barely make their presence known. For people, owls are contradictory beasts, at times depicted as dignified, wise old scholars and at other times as foreboding voyeurs who see all--omens both good and evil, in turn. In this fascinating book, best-selling author and broadcaster Desmond Morris explores the natural and cultural history of one of nature's most popular winged creatures. Excluding Antarctica, owls are found on every land mass across the globe, and they range in size from well under a foot tall (the tiny least pygmy owl) to more than two feet (the orange-eyed Eurasian eagle owl). As a result of their wide distribution, owls also occur in the folktales, myths, and legends of many native peoples around the world. Morris spreads his wings wide to explore these stories alongside owl evolution, owl species, and the many examples of owls in art, film, literature, and popular culture. Despite the fact that many of us have never seen an owl or even heard its accusatory "Who? Who?," Morris's enticing read makes clear this creature's looming presence in our lives. Featuring more than one hundred telling illustrations from nature and culture, Owl will enthrall the many devotees of this surreal bird.
