Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a fish? Or a parrot,
dolphin, or an elephant? Do they experience thoughts that are
similar to ours, or have feelings of grief and love? These are
tough questions, but scientists are answering them. They know that
ants teach and rats love to be tickled. They've discovered that
dogs have thousand-word vocabularies and that birds practice their
songs in their sleep. But how do scientists know these
things?
" Animal Wise" takes us on a dazzling odyssey into the inner world
of animals and among the pioneering researchers who are leading the
way into once-forbidden territory: the animal mind. Morell uses her
formidable gifts as a storyteller to transport us to field sites
and laboratories around the world, introducing us to
animal-cognition scientists and their surprisingly intelligent and
sensitive subjects. She explores how this rapidly evolving,
controversial field has only recently overturned old notions about
why animals behave as they do. In this surprising and moving book,
Morell brings the world of nature brilliantly alive in a nuanced,
deeply felt appreciation of the human-animal bond.
