Not since Darwin's <b>The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals</b> has a book so thoroughly and effectively explored the full range of emotions that exist throughout the animal kingdom. <br><br>From dancing squirrels to bashful gorillas to spiteful killer whales, Masson and coauthor Susan McCarthy bring forth fascinating anecdotes and illuminating insights that offer powerful proof of the existence of animal emotion. Chapters on love, joy, anger, fear, shame, compassion, and loneliness are framed by a provocative re-evaluation of how we treat animals, from hunting and eating them to scientific experimentation. Forming a complete and compelling picture of the inner lives of animals, <b>When Elephants Weep</b> assures that we will never look at animals in the same way again. 1768868 1994 When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals total:523|5:192|4:185|3:111|2:26|1:9| 523 2094 976 79 2 4 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Tue Apr 15 14:13:13 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 29 06:49:47 -0700 2008
