Resumen del Editor
Weaving decades of field observations with exciting new discoveries about the brain, Carl Safina's landmark book offers an intimate view of animal behavior to challenge the fixed boundary between humans and nonhuman animals. In Beyond Words listeners travel to Amboseli National Park in the threatened landscape of Kenya and witness struggling elephant families work out how to survive poaching and drought, then to Yellowstone National Park to observe wolves sort out the aftermath of one pack's personal tragedy and finally plunge into the astonishingly peaceful society of killer whales living in the crystalline waters of the Pacific Northwest.
Beyond Words brings forth powerful and illuminating insight into the unique personalities of animals through extraordinary stories of animal joy, grief, jealousy, anger, and love. The similarity between human and nonhuman consciousness, self-awareness, and empathy calls us to reevaluate how we interact with animals. Wise, passionate, and eye opening at every turn, Beyond Words is ultimately a graceful examination of humanity's place in the world.

Historia
Some people insist that culture is strictly a human feat. What are they afraid of? This book looks into three cultures of other-than-human beings in some of Earth's remaining wild places. It shows how if you're a sperm whale, a scarlet macaw, or a chimpanzee, you too experience your life with the understanding that you are an individual in a particular community. You too are who you are not by genes alone; your culture is a second form of inheritance. And your culture, too, changes and evolves.

This engaging and authoritative portrait of animals' emotional lives is as groundbreaking as Darwin's Origin of Species in the facts and insights it presents about the animal kingdom. You'll meet an Indian elephant known for his facial expressions, a shy gorilla who is proficient in sign language and loves to play house with dolls, and an African grey parrot who, when left at the veterinarian's, cried, "Come here! I love you. I'm sorry. I want to go back."

Steven Kotler was 40 years old, single, and facing an existential crisis when he met Lila, a woman devoted to animal rescue. "Love me, love my dogs" was her rule, and Steven took it to heart. Spurred to move by a housing crisis in Los Angeles, Steven, Lila, and their eight dogs - then 10, then 20, and then they lost count - bought a postage-stamp-size farm in Chimayo, New Mexico....

Is it really human nature to stab one another in the back in our climb up the corporate ladder? Competitive, selfish behavior is often explained away as instinctive, thanks to evolution and "survival of the fittest", but in fact, humans are equally hard-wired for empathy. Using research from the fields of anthropology, psychology, animal behavior, and neuroscience, Frans de Waal brilliantly argues that humans are group animals.

Birds are highly intelligent animals, yet their intelligence is dramatically different from our own and has been little understood. As we learn more about the secrets of bird life, we are unlocking fascinating insights into memory, relationships, game theory, and the nature of intelligence itself. The Thing with Feathers explores the astonishing homing abilities of pigeons, the good deeds of fairy-wrens, the influential flocking abilities of starlings, the deft artistry of bowerbirds, the extraordinary memories of nutcrackers, and other mysteries.

Half of all species could disappear by the end of the century, and scientists now concede that most of America’s endangered animals will survive only if conservationists keep rigging the world around them in their favor. So Jon Mooallem ventures into the field, often taking his daughter with him, to move beyond childlike fascination and make those creatures feel more real. Wild Ones is a tour through our environmental moment and the eccentric cultural history of people and wild animals in America that inflects it.

Imagine visiting her in her feeding spots, watching her with her mates and her young, peering into her den, and, over time, observing the lives of all the other wild bears in her territory and surrounding ones. That is what happened to Ben Kilham.

Birds, Jim Robbins posits, are our most vital connection to nature. They compel us to look to the skies, both literally and metaphorically, draw us out into nature to seek their beauty, and let us experience vicariously what it is like to be weightless. Birds have helped us in so many of our human endeavors: learning to fly, providing clothing and food, and helping us better understand the human brain and body.

The world's largest land mammal could help us end cancer. The fastest bird is showing us how to solve a century-old engineering mystery. The oldest tree is giving us insights into climate change. The loudest whale is offering clues about the impact of solar storms. For a long time, scientists ignored superlative life forms as outliers. Increasingly, though, researchers are coming to see great value in studying plants and animals that exist on the outermost edges of the bell curve.

For millennia, lions, tigers, and their man-eating kin have kept our dark, scary forests dark and scary, and their predatory majesty has been the stuff of folklore. But by the year 2150 big predators may only exist on the other side of glass barriers and chain-link fences. Their gradual disappearance is changing the very nature of our existence. We no longer occupy an intermediate position on the food chain; instead we survey it invulnerably from above - so far above that we are in danger of forgetting that we even belong to an ecosystem.

Historia
Tucked away in Siberia, there are furry, four-legged creatures with wagging tails and floppy ears that are as docile and friendly as any lapdog. But, despite appearances, these are not dogs - they are foxes. They are the result of the most astonishing experiment in breeding ever undertaken - imagine speeding up thousands of years of evolution into a few decades. In 1959, biologists Dmitri Belyaev and Lyudmila Trut set out to do just that, by starting with a few dozen silver foxes from fox farms in the USSR and attempting to recreate the evolution of wolves into dogs in real time.

It may be a wonderful world, but as Dan Riskin explains, it's also a dangerous, disturbing, and disgusting one. At every turn, it seems, living things are trying to eat us, poison us, use our bodies as their homes, or have us spread their eggs. In Mother Nature Is Trying to Kill You, Riskin is our guide through the natural world at its most gloriously ruthless. Using the seven deadly sins as a road map, Riskin offers dozens of jaw-dropping examples that illuminate how brutal nature can truly be.

Deftly combining medicine, social history, and personal experience, Our Symphony with Animals is the first book by a physician to show how deeply the well-being of humans and animals are entwined. Interwoven throughout is Dr. Akhtar's own story of being a young girl who was bullied in school and sexually abused by her uncle. Feeling abandoned by humanity, it was only when she met Sylvester, a dog who had also been abused, that she found strength for both of them. Our Symphony with Animals is the definitive account for why our relationships with animals matter.

Historia
Some people insist that culture is strictly a human feat. What are they afraid of? This book looks into three cultures of other-than-human beings in some of Earth's remaining wild places. It shows how if you're a sperm whale, a scarlet macaw, or a chimpanzee, you too experience your life with the understanding that you are an individual in a particular community. You too are who you are not by genes alone; your culture is a second form of inheritance. And your culture, too, changes and evolves.

Historia
Deftly combining medicine, social history, and personal experience, Our Symphony with Animals is the first book by a physician to show how deeply the well-being of humans and animals are entwined. Interwoven throughout is Dr. Akhtar's own story of being a young girl who was bullied in school and sexually abused by her uncle. Feeling abandoned by humanity, it was only when she met Sylvester, a dog who had also been abused, that she found strength for both of them. Our Symphony with Animals is the definitive account for why our relationships with animals matter.

On the shores of Lake Tanganyika, Gombe is a community where the principal residents are chimpanzees. Through Jane Goodall's eyes we watch young Figan's rise to power and old Mike's crushing defeat. We learn how one mother rears her children to succeed, and another dooms hers to failure. We witness horrifying murders, touching moments of affection, joyous births, and wrenching deaths. As Goodall compellingly tells the story of this intimately intertwined community, we are shown human emotions stripped to their essence. In the mirror of chimpanzee life, we see ourselves reflected.

For millennia, owls have captivated and intrigued us. Our fascination with these mysterious birds was first documented more than thirty thousand years ago in the Chauvet Cave paintings in southern France. With their forward gaze and quiet flight, owls are often a symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and foresight. But what does an owl really know? And what do we really know about owls? Jennifer Ackerman illuminates the rich biology and natural history of these birds and reveals remarkable new scientific discoveries about their brains and behavior.

Passionate, beautiful, fascinating
The stories Safina tells are compelling and fascinating. One about a wolf defending her cubs against her violent big sister is heart-wrenching. The other wolves would usually side with the dominant female, but in this case, they take the young mother's side instead. It shows complexity of mind and social structure that just makes me want to learn more.
But by far the best part is his take-downs of some of the stupidest ideas held by behavioural scientists. Recognizing a red dot on oneself in a mirror proves whether an animal is conscious? No, it proves the animal knows how to use mirrors.
Dehaene's "Consciousness and the Brain" is a good follow-up to this book, because it goes a long ways to provide neuroscience data to backup what Safina is saying here. Higher animals absolutely are conscious and they lead complex lives—and we need to do so much more if we want to continue sharing a world with them.

If you are a lover of animals, wild or domestic and have ever found yourself wondering just who is looking back, this book will confirm what you've no doubt experienced.

Enlightening, Inspiring, and Convicting
A gripping read that will inspire, educate, and enlighten you. The story is strong and compelling- the characters, both human and nonhuman, will stay with you after you put the book down haunting your dreams and daydreams. The writing is technical yet completely accessible. There is no shortage of research/ data then the establishment of facts, then finally conclusions. The history of human knowledge and insight into the world we are a part of us startling incomplete. One cannot help but feel the weight of wrong headedness and hurt that people reaped or condoned on the world around them. How incomplete and incorrect was the understand that many people held without knowing? Now that we know the harm our actions or silence have caused, how can we stand by idle? What else do we not know or understand without realizing? The world is both smaller and more fragile and bigger, more complex, and more wonderful than I ever knew. I feel my eyes have been opened and my brain now knows that my heart was not wrong- consciousness and intelligence is all around us. After reading Beyond Words there is no other possible answer. Animals think, feel, reason, and love.

Made me feel wonder and sadness
What did you love best about Beyond Words?
Reading about the inner lives and communication of animals.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Beyond Words?
How decimated the animal populations have become. The loss of elephants and killer whales is tragic and senseless.
What about Carl Safina’s performance did you like?
The author's performance took a while to truly involve me in the book. Overall quite good though.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I recommend this book even though it made me quite sad.
Any additional comments?
A book that many people would benefit from reading.

Beautiful
Carl does a great job at keeping it scientific and practical. It confirms things I already knew, and it’s so great to hear it from a scientist! His writing style, information gathering, and detailed descriptions make this book top notch. Changed my life, and I hope it changes many more. At times the truth does hurt to hear and I definitely cried, but it’s information we must all take in to make changes in this world.

Eye opening
My 2nd listen to this book. Amazing facts about elephants, wolves, dolphins, killer whales and many more including how they interact with other species. There is also a commentary on how little humans know about the day to day lives of the other species that inhabit our world. I will look more closely at the world around me. I'm already saddened whenever I hear about bombs and other ordinance being tested in the ocean.

A truly beautiful must-read book
This book is quite informative, well written and enthusiastically read. The author really helped me understand how much I've not understood about humanity through a better understanding of other species. This is a must read book for everyone. But for me it is a call to do some serious soul searching as to what my action item is based on what i've learned. I promise I will do something.
