Second Nature: The Inner Lives of Animals (repost)

Second Nature: The Inner Lives of Animals by Jonathan Balcombe and J. M. Coetzee
English | ISBN: 0230107818, 0230613624 | 2011 | 256 pages | PDF | 1,8 MB

Do baboons have a sense of right and wrong? Do cats and dogs have their feelings hurt? Animal behavior expert Jonathan Balcombe, Ph.D., makes the case that animals, once viewed only as mindless automatons, actually have rich sensory experiences and emotional complexity.

Drawing on new research, observational studies, and personal anecdotes to reveal the full spectrum of animal experience, Balcombe paints a new picture of the inner lives of animals that diverges from the 'fight or die' image often presented in the popular media. He challenges traditional views of animals and makes the case for why the human-animal relationship needs a complete overhaul.
