Description

There are certain books that will make you never look at your horse in the same way again. This is one of those books. Carl Safina’s BEYOND WORDS is not only beautifully written, it is the most moving introduction to the study of animal consciousness I have yet to read. Capturing the lives of elephants, wolves, and killer whales as his subjects, Safina has a way of describing the similarity between human and nonhuman self-awareness and empathy that will leave you spellbound. Even my non-horsey university biologist husband said, “We have to read this twice just to absorb all that it has to offer.” I strongly recommend this book for all horse owners. 400+ pages. $2 shipping
