Summary: Award-winning environmentalist and nature writer Eugene Linden offers a compelling case as he documents true stories from the next great frontier: the exploration of animal consciousness. That animals think, "talk," and feel has long been denied by the general scientific establishment. Yet zoo keepers, field biologists, and even pet owners everywhere know differently. More than two hundred separate anecdotes show how our furry and feathered next of kin experience and engage in strategy, deception, game-playing, humor, heroism, love, compassion, and even grief. Highly readable, this is a must-have volume for any animal lover.
