What sheep think about the weather : how to listen to what animals are trying to say
Thomas, Amelia2025
Book
Science has shown us that animals communicate constantly and elaborately amongst themselves: bees exchange directions via 'waggle dances'; dolphins have a 'signature whistle' that functions like a human name; and fruit flies even have local dialects. With the doggedness of a journalist, the soul of an animal lover, and the wonder of a curious intellect, Amelia Thomas is determined to better listen to her own menagerie (a horse, pony, chickens, dogs, cat, mice, goat and pigs). Taking us on her journey of discovery through the scientific, practical, and spiritual ways people today are trying to listen to animals, she meets with animal behaviourists, anthrozoologists, pet psychics, animal trainers, AI experts, indigenous trackers and psychologists - all of whom are listening in vastly different ways to vastly different species.
