Resumen del Editor

Through vivid stories of devoted pigs, two-timing magpies, and scheming roosters, The Inner Life of Animals weaves the latest scientific research into how animals interact with the world with Peter Wohlleben's personal experiences in forests and fields.

Horses feel shame, deer grieve, and goats discipline their kids. Ravens call their friends by name, rats regret bad choices, and butterflies choose the very best places for their children to grow up.

In this, his latest book, Peter Wohlleben follows the hugely successful The Hidden Life of Trees with insightful stories into the emotions, feelings, and intelligence of animals around us. Animals are different from us in ways that amaze us - and they are also much closer to us than we ever would have thought.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Like The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben's The Inner Life of Animals will rock your world. Surprising, humbling, and filled with delight, this book shows us that animals think, feel and know in much the same way as we do - and that their lives are, to them, as precious as ours are to us." (Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus)

"With the same charm and clarity that drew so many readers to The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben has produced another gem. I found delight on every page, thanks to the author's rare skill at blending scientific discoveries with his own wealth of insightful personal experiences. Read this book, and never again doubt that we share the Earth with other beings living rich and colorful lives." (Jonathan Balcombe, author of What a Fish Knows)

"Animal lovers everywhere will be enthralled by The Inner Life of Animals. Find out what squirrels, deer, and other animals really do out in the woods." (Temple Grandin)

Amusing perspective on animals

The book was entertaining, including personal observations of animals, with a little science, as admitted by the author. It was a relaxing read, easy to listen to, and a little educational too.

Thoughtful

The narrator is excellent, and I have much to consider after reading this. Excellent!

Thankful for this presentation of a sometimes sensitive issue

I appreciated the way Wohlleben shared his observations in an educational, not preachy style. My hope is that
people besides animal lovers will listen to this and consider the reality of a diet based on the suffering of animals (factory farms).

Wonderful

Some books add to your life by widening your understanding of your relationship to the world, in this case animals, who share the planet with us. This book does just that. I believe I can be a better human after listening to this audio book.

Loved it!

Fascinating look into the world of animals, our fellow earthlings, what they mean to us and how we have impacted their lives. Makes me glad I decided to go vegan.

Great narration by Mike Grady!
