New Edition of Crow

Crow has recently been republished by Reaktion Books in a less expensive, second edition, with a new introduction. In this history of human cultural relationships with crows, I have tried to make a bit more explicit, what I believe is the major theme of the book. The human relationship with crows is more reciprocal than with any other creature, because no other animal is intellectually interested in us to the same extent. They constantly study us, with the result that they can recognize and long remember human faces. It is nearly impossible for chimpanzees to understand the gesture of pointing with a finer, but crows, like dogs, understanding this without being taught. The book had previously been translated into Korean, traditional Chinese, French, Arabic and Turkish. Translations into Czech, Spanish and simplified Chinese are forthcoming soon. For a short time, Amazon has dropped the price to about $5.50
