Animals in Translation - Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behaviour

Zusatztext 'An extraordinary book Even if you don't run a farm or own a pet, you have to read this book. It will change the way you think about animals, about autism, about yourself' Informationen zum Autor Temple Grandin is an associate professor of animal science at Colorado State University. She was the subject of the famous New Yorker profile by Oliver Sacks, 'An Anthropologist on Mars'. Klappentext Animals in Translation is the culmination of Temple Grandin's extraordinary life's work, drawing upon the latest research, her distinguished career as an animal scientist and her own experience of being autistic. With co-author Catherine Johnson, Grandin argues that while 'normal people' convert experience into words and abstractions, animals and autistics process the world as sensory information - specific pictures, sights and sounds. This difference is the key to understanding how animals see, think and feel. As much a revelation about life with autism as it is about life with animals, Animals in Translation explores pain, fear, aggression, love, friendship, communication and learning in a startling book that will change the way you think about animals. Vorwort A groundbreaking book from one of the world's most celebrated animal scientists that will revolutionise our understanding of how animals think and feel Zusammenfassung A groundbreaking book from one of the world's most celebrated animal scientists that will revolutionise our understanding of how animals think and feel
