TIME The Animal Mind

They work with us, they play with us . . . but what do they think of us?

Some of our best friends are animals. But what are they really thinking? Discover the rich inner lives of dogs, cats, whales, elephants, parrots, and dozens of other animals-even insects-with this thought-provoking book, packed with elegant animal portraits from the pages of Time magazine. From dogs that seem to sense our emotions, to cats that linger by the bedside of the dying, to apes that use sign language to express their thoughts, TIME The Animal Mind explores what really goes on in the brains of creatures great and small. The latest research and scientific evidence is here, along with a discussion of animal rights. How do dog packs work? Do animals laugh? Do they talk? Do they mourn? Do they have friends? Every animal lover will be amazed and intrigued by this insightful journey into the animal mind.
