Extraordinary new insights into the minds and lives of our fellow
creatures from two of the world's top animal authors, Elizabeth
Marshall Thomas and Sy Montgomery. A Mail on Sunday "Critic's Pick"
Best Read of the Year "In their writing and in their lives and in
their remarkable friendship, Liz and Sy break down false barriers
and carry us closer to our fellow creatures."-from the foreword by
Vicki Constantine Croke, author of Elephant Company Tamed and
Untamed a collection of essays penned by two of the world's most
celebrated animal writers, Sy Montgomery and Elizabeth Marshall
Thomas explores the minds, lives, and mysteries of animals as
diverse as snails, house cats, hawks, sharks, dogs, lions, and even
octopuses. Drawing on stories of animals both wild and domestic,
the two authors, also best friends, created this book to put humans
back into the animal world. The more we learn about what other
animals think and do, they explain, the more we understand
ourselves as animals, too. Writes Montgomery, "The list of
attributes once thought to be unique to our species from using
tools to waging war is not only rapidly shrinking, but starting to
sound less and less impressive when we compare them with other
animals' powers." With humor, empathy, and introspection,
Montgomery and Thomas look into the lives of all kinds of creatures
from man's best friend to the great white shark and examine the
ways we connect with our fellow species. Both authors have devoted
their lives to sharing the animal kingdom's magic with others, and
their combined wisdom is an indispensable contribution to the field
of animal literature. The book contains a foreword by Vicki
Constantine Croke, author of the bestseller Elephant Company.
