Synopsis

"Like The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben's 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

Through 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.

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, his latest 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.

Published in partnership with the David Suzuki Institute.

DNF, 50%. I think this book lost me when Wohlleben asked me to feel empathy for...ticks. The closest I've ever come to a major car accident was due to these pathogen-and-blood-filled watermelon seeds of doom. There I was, driving home after a field day in Coyote Valley where, despite being covered i......more

Goodreads review by cypt on December 04, 2020

Labai fainas, bet jausmas skaitant ir perskaičius - kaip išplėstas Bored Panda straipsnis. Sudalintas į 40+ dalių, atseit pagal emocijas, kurias gyvūnai jaučia kaip ir mes, bet tas skirstymas gana dirbtinis - perbėgi ir pamiršti, ar čia skaitei apie gėdą, ar apie graužatį. Patiko: - Wohllebeno istorij......more
