Product Description

Review

'This magisterial book on animal behaviour is unique and, for me, is gripping reading fascinating Grandin is the modern day Doctor Dolittle who does not have any mystical telepathy with animals - she is simply an extremely experienced, sharp observer and careful scientist who has isolated the principles that govern animal behaviour. We owe her a huge debt for having used her autistic obsession (into animals) and her autistic perception (for accurate details) to teach us so much' Simon Baron-Cohen, Guardian 'This is a wonderful book by an amazing woman - a woman whose understanding of animals is very special. What's more, she not only understands them, she also puts her knowledge to practical use' Desmond Morris, Daily Mail 'She may well have done more for animal welfare than anyone else in recent history a cross between a memoir, a layperson's guide to autism and a how-to guide to animal welfare we have much to learn' Sunday Telegraph 'An extraordinary book Even if you don't run a farm or own a pet, you have to read this book. It will change the way you think about animals, about autism, about yourself' Mail on Sunday


Mail on Sunday

‘Extraordinary ... you have to read this book. It will change the way you think about animals, about autism, about yourself’

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible experience, 10 Jun 2006
By Vishvjit P. Singh - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being animal lovers, both my wife and myself have been fascinated by their behaviour patterns, many of which were easy to understand but many more which were inexplicable. After reading this seminal work it was as if a great fog had been lifted. Thank you Temple Grandin. We have been recommending this book to all our friends and discovered that the author has also written extensively on Autism. A friends family has successfully dealt with an autistic child with the help of Temples books!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, 11 Oct 2005
By I. M. Mcdonald "ev mcd" (Neath, South Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behaviour (Hardcover)
This book is really interesting but very easy to read. If you are at all interested in animal or human psychology (or both) you should enjoy it and will probably learn more than you expected.

4.0 out of 5 stars Downright interesting, 8 Jun 2007
By Mary McNeil (Cumbria, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Written by an autistic woman - Temple Grandin - and subtitled 'The Woman Who Thinks Like A Cow', this book is an exploration and explanation of how animals view the world and the ways in which the animal view is similar to the autistic view. What's so fascinating is how these animal and autistic views are different from those of what Temple calls 'normal people'.

You can approach the book from any number of angles and interest points. For animal lovers it's hugely informative in helping you to understand animal fears and motivators, behaviours and methods of communication. For those who'd like to know more about autism, it gives examples and stories of what it's like to live life as an autistic person. If you're interested in how we as humans operate in, and impact on, the world of other beings around us, this is a real eye-opener too.

Fascinating, informative, educational, enlightening, downright interesting. This book had me hooked from start to finish.
