The Inner Life of Animals: Love, Grief, and Compassion―Surprising Observations of a Hidden World (The Mysteries of Nature, 2)
Description
From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees.“The
Inner Life of Animals will rock your world. This book shows us that animals
think, feel and know in much the same way as we do.”—Sy Montgomery,
bestselling author of The Soul of an OctopusThrough vivid stories of devoted
pigs, two-timing magpies, and scheming roosters, The Inner Life of Animals
weaves the latest scientific research into how animals interact with the world
with Peter Wohlleben’s personal experiences in forests and fields. We learn
that horses feel shame, deer grieve, and goats discipline their kids. Ravens
call their friends by name, rats regret bad choices, and butterflies choose
the very best places for their children to grow up. In this captivating book,
Peter Wohlleben follows the hugely successful The Hidden Life of Trees with
insightful stories into the emotions, feelings, and intelligence of animals
around us. Animals are different from us in ways that amaze us—and they are
also much closer to us than we ever would have thought.“Wry, avuncular,
careful and kind. . . Each story adds to a widening vision of intelligence,
emotion and relationship.”—The GuardianPublished in Partnership with the David
Suzuki Institute Read more
