Earth Day Reads For A Better Earth
In honor of Earth Day this past week, we want to share some great earth themed books. Which will you read?
Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? | Frans de Waal - People have long assumed that complex thought and emotion were exclusive to humanity. Primatologist and ethologist Frans de Waal challenges this assumption, outlining the evolution of human understanding of animal cognition and exploring case studies of animal problem solving, tool use and social structures. This book is a source of provocative research findings, a history and critique of the field and a personal narrative of de Waal’s own career evolution. The result drives readers to reevaluate what it means to be intelligent while deepening their appreciation for the unique and diverse talents across the animal kingdom.
