Annotation: "In 2016, author Amy Tan grew overwhelmed by the state of the world: Hatred and misinformation became a daily presence on social media, and the country felt more divisive than ever. In search of peace, Tan turned toward the natural world just beyond her window and, specifically, the birds flocking to the feeders in her yard. But what began as an attempt to find solace turned into something far greater--an opportunity to savor quiet moments during a volatile time, connect to nature in a meaningful way, and imagine the intricate lives of the birds she admired. Tracking the natural beauty that surrounds us, The Backyard Bird Chronicles maps the passage of time--from before the pandemic to the days of quarantine--through daily entries, thoughtful questions, and beautiful original sketches. With boundless charm and wit, Amy Tan charts her foray into birding and the natural wonders of the world"--

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Features: Bibliography, Index, Price on Product | Pages: 336

Annotation: "Today many maintain that we are the most intelligent, virtuous, successful species that ever lived. This ... thinking enables us to exploit the earth towards our own exclusive ends, throwing us into a perilous planetary imbalance. But is this view and way of life inevitable? [This book posits] that human exceptionalism is an ideology that relies more on human culture than our biology, more on delusion and faith than on evidence. Harvard primatologist Christine Webb has spent years researching the rich social, emotional, and cognitive lives of our closest living relatives. She exposes the ways that many scientific studies are biased against other species and reveals underappreciated complexities of nonhuman life--from the language of songbirds and prairie dogs, to the cultures of chimpanzees and reef fishes, to the acumen of plants and fungi"--

What Sheep Think about the Weather: How to Listen to What Animals Are Trying to Say

BasicBinding: Paperback

Author: Thomas, Amelia

Publisher: Sourcebooks

Date Published: 11-2025

ISBN: 1464218455 | EAN: 9781464218453

BasicBinding: Paperback

Features: Price on Product | Pages: 368

Annotation: "Are animals telling us something? Amelia Thomas couldn't stop wondering what the animals around her were trying to say-whether it was the bee that wouldn't stop flying around her head, the cows in the random pasture that would walk right up to greet her, the sheep that seems peeved by the weather, or her own puppy yipping and whining even after her every need has seemingly been met. Soon enough, she set out to answer the question: What are animals truly seeking to communicate, not to each other, but to us humans? Her quest will introduce readers to a myriad scientists, experts, and practitioners-from animal behaviorists to anthrozoologists; pet psychics to animal trainers; A.I. experts to indigenous trackers; animal mindfulness gurus to psychologists-all who are listening to vastly different species in vastly different ways. Because listening has never been so important, and if we can learn to do it better, we might find out that the animals have been talking to us all along"-- Provided by publisher.
