"The latest scientific research confirms that humans and animals share brain structures which are important in processing emotions. Based on his years of experience studying patterns of social communication in a wide range of species, award-winning scientist Marc Bekoff skillfully blends research findings with extraordinary stories of animal joy, empathy, grief, embarrassment, anger, and love. Animal emotions not only teach us about our own emotions, argues Bekoff, but they require us to radically rethink our current relationship of domination and abuse of animals. 240 pp."
