Text and photographs look at the unlikely friendship between a lion, a tiger, and a bear who were abused and neglected and where brought to live at Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary.

Weaving decades of field research with exciting new discoveries about the brain, and complete with astonishing photos taken by the author, Beyond Words: What Elephants and Whales Think and Feel gives readers an intimate and 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, self-awareness, and empathy allow the reader to reexamine how we interact with animals as well as how we see our own place in the world.

"Through vivid stories of devoted pigs, two-timing magpies, and scheming roosters, 'The Inner Life of Animals' weaves Peter Wohlleben's wealth of personal experience observing nature in forests and fields with the latest scientific research into how animals interact with the world."--Dust jacket.

This volume is a comprehensive overview of the scientific discipline that studies psychological and biological processes and behavior in humans and other animals. It features chapters on the history of the field, the thought process, memory, theories of personality, and key figures—such as William James, Sigmund Freud, Jean Piaget, B. F. Skinner, and Daniel Kahneman—who helped shape the field. The difference between clinical psychology and the growing science of mind, brain, and social behavior is discussed, as are several subfields of psychology.This comprehensive guide is the perfect introduction for students, in particular those studying the development of the field.

Examines what we can know of of animal emotions and thoughts through studying their brains and behaviors. Explores stories of wolves dealing with the death of one of their pack, elephants being creative in avoiding poachers, and dolphins calling to one another while following a boat of humans.

Animal behaviorists and wildlife filmmakers take us on a unique journey into the emotional world once thought exclusive to humans. Take a close look at the hearts and minds of animals.
