With the possible exception of Dr. Doolittle, no human has established a clearer communicative link with the animal world than Dr. Temple Grandin. Her latest book collects much of the wisdom that she has culled from a long career spent fighting for better treatment of commercial livestock and explains how this knowledge can be used to create richer relationships between all animals and their humans. Most pet owners know that the emotions of animals and people can often be intricately linked, even symbiotic, and Grandin specifically outlines some of the core emotions that all creatures seem to share, including anger, fear, lust, and fun. With advice on a wide range of topics, from the best environment for a dog left alone in an apartment to the most humane way to slaughter a chicken, Grandin calls for a reversal of priorities throughout our extensive interactions with the animal kingdom.

Starred ReviewGrandin (Animals in Translation), famed for her decades-long commitment to treating livestock as humanely as possible on its way to slaughter, considers how humans and animals can best interact. Working from the premise that "an animal is a conscious being that has feelings," the autistic author assesses dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, poultry, wildlife and zoo animals based on a "core emotion system" she believes animals and humans share, including a need to seek; a sense of rage, fear, and panic; feelings of lust; an urge to nurture; and an ability to play. Among observations at odds with conventional wisdom: dogs need human parents, not alpha pack leaders, and cats respond to training. Discussions of why horses are skittish and why pigs are arguably the most intelligent of beasts--raccoons run them a close second--illuminate the intersection of people and more domesticated animals; chapters on cows and chickens focus more generally on animal welfare, particularly the horrific conditions in which they are usually raised and slaughtered. Packed with fascinating insights, unexpected observations and a wealth of how-to tips, Grandin's peppy work ably challenges assumptions about what makes animals happy. (Jan.)
