Description

We tend to assume that we are the only living things able to experience feelings but have you ever wondered whats going on in an animals head? From the leafy forest floor to the inside of a bee hive, The Inner Life of Animals opens up the animal kingdom like never before. We hear the stories of a grateful humpback whale, of a hedgehog who has nightmares, and of a magpie who commits adultery; we meet bees that plan for the future, pigs who learn their own names and crows that go tobogganing for fun. And at last we find out why wasps exist.
Recenzja
Always fascinating Wry, avuncular, careful and kind
, Wohlleben guides us from one creature to the next -- Richard Kerridge
Guardian
Wohlleben presents short chapter in bite-sized portions, so the reader has a constant sense of learning something new almost with every page ... The formula is provably
winning
. I still felt I was on a robust learning curve as subjects as diverse as motherly love, gratitude, deception, desire, shame and knowledge of good and evil were explored one by one ...
fascinating
-- Katharine Norbury
Observer
Wohlleben is connecting with something big here He truffles up some
wonderful
animal facts, too Wohllebens empathy with animals can be
touching and illuminating
-- James McConnachie
Sunday Times
Entertaining and enthusiastic
-- Tim Smith-Laing
Daily Telegraph
The Inner Life of Animals
will rock your world
. Surprising, humbling, and filled with delight, this book shows us that animals think, feel, and know in much the same way as we do -- and that their lives are, to them, as precious as ours are to us. -- Sy Montgomery, author of THE SOUL OF AN OCTOPUS
