New York Times bestselling author Carl Safina brings readers close to three non-human culturesâwhat they do, why they do it, and how life is for them.
What The Reviewers Say
... luminous.
... living among the animals, in their world, Safina and the field scientists he visits show us something else, something too often overlooked in research and in conservation: who the animals are, and how they live...More compelling than facts about species are tales of individuals — characters, with personality — living among peers or kin. So it’s the stories of Safina’s days with these animals that move us.
... fascinating discussions.
Combining the knowledge of a seasoned scientist with the skills of a good storyteller, Safina invites us to leave our cultural worlds and enter animals' ones to see just how they work.
