This book contains, in Part I, the complete set of 72 newspaper columns that explain some mysteries of living. The column topics appear in an easy-reading sequence, and all consider aspects of the natural science of behavior, now known as behaviorology, and its broad range of application for helping humanity deal with local and global problems. Part II contains six papers that support the topics of the columns. This book of readings complements the author's previous textbook and general-audience primer audiences, bits of wisdom from exploring and explaining some behavior mysteries of living, this accessible book serves both new readers and readers experienced in the discipline.
