EMOTIONAL LIVES OF ANIMALS, THE
Explores animal joy, sorrow and empathy - and why they matter.
Based on award-winning scientist Marc Bekoff’s years of experience studying patterns of social communication in a wide range of species, this important book shows that numerous animals have rich emotional lives.
Animal emotions not only teach us about love, empathy, and compassion, argues Bekoff, but they require us to radically rethink our current relationship of domination and abuse of animals. Bekoff skillfully blends extraordinary stories of animal joy, empathy, grief, embarrassment, anger, and love with the latest scientific research confirming the existence of emotions that common sense and experience have long implied.
Filled with Bekoff's light humour and touching stories from animals around the world, "The Emotional Lives of Animals" will cause readers to reassess both how they view animals and how they treat them.
A 240 page paperback book.
