Description
Carl Safina combines decades of field observations with exciting discoveries about the brain to offer an intimate view of animal behaviour and challenge the fixed boundary between humans and animals. He travels to the threatened landscape of Kenya, where elephant families struggle to survive poaching and drought, then to Yellowstone National Park, where wolves deal with the aftermath of a pack’s personal tragedy, and finally to the crystalline waters of the Pacific Northwest, home to the astonishingly peaceful society of killer whales. Through extraordinary stories of animal joy, grief, jealousy, anger and love, the book reveals the unique personalities of animals. The similarities between human and nonhuman consciousness, self-awareness and empathy invite us to reconsider how we interact with animals. Wise, passionate and eye-opening, Beyond Words is ultimately a graceful examination of humanity’s place in the world.
