Description

Opening most appropriately with a foreword by Jane Goodall, this unique work offers about 170 essays by well-known names in the animal industry who represent many fields, among them psychology, philosophy, biology, ethology, sociology, anthropology, history, education, and law. The result is a welcome multidisciplinary approach that shows us the extensive roles nonhuman animals play in virtually all areas of our lives. The essays are well reasoned and often extensive; "Animal Cognition," for example, is followed by five additional essays, all penned by different contributors, with such titles as "Intelligence" and "Consciousness and Thinking." A chronology of historical events related to animal rights and animal welfare is included, as is an appendix that lists resources on animal welfare and humane education. This monumental work deserves a place in every reference collection. Peggie Partello, Keene State Coll. Lib., NH
