BERND HEINRICH

Bernd Heinrich is a professor emeritus in the biology department at the University of Vermont and is the author of a number of books about nature writing, behavior, biology, ecology, and evolution. Heinrich has made major contributions to the study of insect physiology and behavior, as well as bird behavior. He has written over fifteen books, mostly related to his research examining the physiological and behavioral adaptations of animals to their physical environments. However, he has also written books that include more of his personal reflections in topics from bumblebees to raven behavior to the natural history of running.

He is the author of the award winning book Mind of the Raven as well as Winter World and Summer World, which talk of the ingenuity of animals. A long distance runner, his book Why We Run explores a new perspective on human evolution by examining the phenomenon of ultraendurance and makes surprising discoveries about the physical, spiritual — and primal — drive to win.
