A powerful case for re-examining our entire relationship with the animal world

Among animal experts, <i>When Elephants Weep </i>is being hailed as a milestone in the battle to make man understand he is only one member of an enormous family

The Emotional Lives of Animals

For more than 100 years, scientists have denied that animals experience emotions, yet this remarkable and groundbreaking book proves what animal-lovers have known to be true: wolves, tigers, giraffes, elephants and many other creatures exhibit all kinds of feelings - hope, fear, shame, love, compassion. From Ola, the irritable whale, to Toto, the chimpanzee who nursed his owner back to health, this book collects together for the first time a vast range of case histories which show the extraordinary complexity of the animal world, and the tumult of emotions that govern it.
