Based on Marc Bekoff's years of experience studying communication patterns of a wide range of animals, The Emotional Lives of Animals: A Leading Scientist Explores Animal Joy, Sorrow, and Empathy - and Why They Matter shows that animals have rich emotional lives. Not only can animal emotions teach us about love, empathy, and compassion, they require us to radically rethink our current relationship of domination and abuse of animals. The author blends extraordinary stories and anecdotes of animal grief, joy, embarrassment, anger, and love with the latest scientific research confirming the existence of emotions that commonsense experience has long implied. The author also explores the evolutionary purposes of emotions, showing how science is discovering brain structures that produce emotions, how we can track an evolutionary continuum based on shared brain structures between species, and how new information is being revealed by noninvasive neurological research techniques. This book is a clarion call for reassessing both how we view animals and how we treat them.
