In this eye-opening take on animal thought and behaviour, Grandin brings the reader rare understanding of animals. She uses her autistic perspective to explore their rich emotional lives and help all of us better communicate with the animals around us. In the process, we are also brought closer to understanding humanity, autistic and not.
(Cory)One of the most celebrated and effective animal advocates on the planet, Temple Grandin has also written two books on autism, including the seminal Thinking in Pictures. She tours extensively all over North America and has appeared on the Today Show, Primetime Live and 20/20.
Animals in Translation's hardcover edition was a national bestseller in Canada and hit the bestseller lists in the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Washington Post, Rocky Mountain News, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and BookSense. It was also selected as a Publishers Weekly Book of the Week and an Editor's Choice in both the New York Times Book Review and Reader's Digest.
Animals in Translation delivers an extraordinary message about how animals think and feel, drawing on the author's long, distinguished career as an animal scientist and her own astonishing insights as an autistic person. Unlike other experts in the field, Grandin's perspective leads to unparalleled, groundbreaking observations, such as the remarkable abilities and similarities between animals and people with handicaps. The immense sweep and provocative ideas of Animals in Translation will forever change the way readers think about animals. A "Behavior and Training Troubleshooting Guide" is included.
