Product Description
Review
Any views about mankind's superiority will be challenged in this thought-provoking book. According to prolific research scientist Ford, we are wrong to believe that only humans have the capacity to dream, fall in love, create a home or experience passion; that lowly forms of life such as microscopic organisms cannot feel pain; and that plants are just a mass of tissue without a sense of their surroundings. Ford examines our high-and-mighty view of the natural world and then dissects the evidence for thinking again. Sick chimpanzees using herbal medicines to cure their ailments, gulls using complex language and amoebae that construct homes for themselves are just some of the myriad creatures with interesting surprises in store. (Kirkus UK)
Product Description
Starting from the assumption that humans have always believed themselves innately superior to other species, this work sets about demolishing such views. Can animals feel love? Might they be sensitive and sentient, rather than passive and reactive?
