A young readers adaptation of the *New York Times-*bestselling book
Beyond Words which focuses on consciousness and self-awareness in
wolves and dogs.
Eye-opening, wise, and filled with triumphant and heartbreaking stories
about the wolf population at Yellowstone (as well as some personal
anecdotes about dogs), Carl Safina's Beyond Words: What Wolves and Dogs
Think and Feel accessibly explores the mysteries of animal thought and
behavior for young readers.
Weaving decades of field research with exciting new discoveries about
the brain, and complete with astonishing photos, Beyond Words offers
an extraordinary look at what makes these animals different from us, but
more importantly, what makes them similar, namely, their feelings of
joy, grief, anger, and love.
These similarities between human and nonhuman consciousness and empathy
allow the reader to reexamine how we interact with animals as well as
how we see our own place in the world.
