About this ebook
Now with a Q&A and new foreword by the author
With unique personal insight, experience, and hard science, Animals in Translation is the definitive, groundbreaking New York Times bestselling work on animal behavior, animal cognition, and psychology.
Temple Grandin’s professional training as an animal scientist and her history as a person with autism have given her a perspective like that of no other expert in the field of animal science. Grandin and coauthor Catherine Johnson present their powerful theory that autistic people can often think the way animals think—putting autistic people in the perfect position to translate “animal talk.” Exploring animal pain, fear, aggression, love, friendship, communication, learning, and even animal genius, Grandin is a faithful guide into their world.
Animals in Translation reveals that animals are much smarter than anyone ever imagined, and Grandin, standing at the intersection of autism and animal science, offers unparalleled observations and extraordinary ideas about both.
