Review
"In ""Pleasurable Kingdom"",""" "Balcombe draws together an extraordinary amount of information to help us to appreciate that we are not the only species that can, if all goes well, live joyful lives."--Peter Singer"Dr. Balcombe convincingly argues that animals are individual beings with a wide range of emotions and feeling. If he is correct - and I believe he is - it follows that we must grapple with the ethical consequences of his important insights."--Wayne Pacelle, President & CEO, The Humane Society of the United States
"I predicted, in "When Elephants Weep," that in ten years better scientists would write better books about the depth of feelings in animals. Well, that time has come, and here is that book."--Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, Author, "When Elephants Weep" "For centuries humanity has justified our extermination of fishes with the myth that they do not have feelings or intelligence. Jonathan Balcombe exposes this myth and presents fishes, with other animals, as sensitive, social, feeling, marvelous sentient beings."--Captain Paul Watson, founder of Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd Conservation Society"entertaining examples of animal bliss -- from drunken parrots to the caresses of fiddler crabs -- bring a pleasure all their own." --"Psychology Today
" "This genial scientist's accounts of enjoyment in the other-than-human world will irritate strict behaviorists and profoundly delight animal lovers."--"Orion Magazine""Brisk, erudite and enormously entertaining...an excellent, approachable introduction to the basic issues in animal behavior."--"Publishers Weekly ""This entertaining and thought-provoking book is recommended for popular science collections."--"LibraryJournal"
"A warm and enjoyable book...anyone with an interest in animal welfare (or just in animals) ought to read it."--www.popularscience.co.uk "This impressive book takes the reader on a journey of scientific knowledge and understanding into the inner lives of other creatures, from mice to monkeys and fish to fowl-- and even insects and worms---that inspires respect and appreciation for all creatures great and small. Dr. Balcombe's book should be a standard text for students of biology and ethology, and all who care for animals will be informed and inspired."--Michael W. Fox, veterinarian, newspaper columnist and author of "The Boundless Circle: Caring for Creatures and Creation"""Pleasurable Kingdom" is a love affair with our fellow beings. Balcombe tempts us to consider, more open-mindedly than ever before, the experiences of animals in more ways than traditional science has yet acknowledged, perhaps even imagined." --Professor Jaak Panksepp, author of "Affective Neuroscience""""This book is one in which all campaigners for good animal welfare should invest." --"The Ark,,"."a joy to read--a carefully balanced book--which also includes some humorous, enlightening and intriguing animal tales." --"www.scienceagogo.com ""Superb--has set an agenda for future research. This book will change how we interact with other animal beings." --Marc Bekoff in "Trends"" in Evolution and Ecology""His arguments may change your opinion of the next lobster that arrives steaming on your plate" --"Wired News""A lively, shrewd and well-argued book--an admirable contribution."-- Mary Midgely in the "Times Higher Educational Supplement""""Marvelous -- as the first book in this field, scholarly orpopular, we also have one that sets a high bar." --"Journal of Applied Animal Behavior Science""A touching look at the complex and at times playful lives of the animals with which we share this planet. Fascinating and often moving, this book emphasizes that animals - like us - truly have personalities, minds and emotions." "--Jane Goodall"
