About this deal

Books Beyond Words are full-colour picture books that address some of the problems in understanding experienced by people with intellectual and communication difficulties. Si scoprono cose che mai si sarebbero immaginate e il capitolo sulle orche conduce a porsi domande inquietanti: forse gli altri esseri come noi, che tanto abbiamo immaginato di incontrare un giorno in qualche pianeta del sistema solare, sono già qui con noi, nelle acque degli oceani, e noi li stiamo distruggendo con le bombe e i sonar delle navi militari, consumando le loro risorse alimentari con la pesca eccessiva del salmone, avvelenandoli con le sostanze chimiche che disseminiamo e che si concentrano al sommo della catena alimentare danneggiando il sistema immunitario e quello riproduttivo (e qui il discorso ci tocca da vicino perché anche noi siamo al sommo della catena alimentare. Safina is now the first Endowed Professor for Nature and Humanity at Stony Brook University and is founding president of the not-for-profit Safina Center.

Beyond Words is such a beautiful book, deep and tender, and will make you stay up all night reading. Aristotle defined voice as ‘a particular sound made by something with a soul; for nothing which does not have a soul has a voice’. The follow-up to the Sunday Times Top 10 bestseller Lost for Words, from Today presenter and national treasure John Humphrys. Like, this guy rivals Josiah Bancroft with his use of simile and metaphor, the way he wrote sucked you into the moments he was living.Founded in 1989, the Books Beyond Words series of picture stories grew out of the personal family experience of the Hollins family and even today several family members remain involved in one way or another. As we can see clearly from Safina’s narrative the loss of key family members can mean death to a whole family from the disruption of missing leadership, cultural knowledge, and the emotional center for adults and infants alike. I appreciated a lot his pondering of the special consciousness elephants seem to have about death and the meaning of incredible restraint among killer whales in never attacking humans. What is certain: our view of ourselves as post-evolutionary, purely cultural creatures, standing outside selection pressures and in control of our fate is wrong.

Join publisher of Beyond Words Richard Cohn for uplifting conversations and interviews with today’s leaders in the mind-body-spirit industry. It was built off the backbone of evolution, we are not supremely unique in our ability to form bonds with other individuals of the same species. Just as with human families or tribes, elephant, wolf, and killer whale counterparts can be flexible in composition between strictly biological members or outsiders adopted into them. This time I allowed myself to ask them the question that for a scientist was forbidden fruit: Who are you?And orcas are so smart, so loving to their families, especially their children, and grieve hardily when one dies or a baby is kidnapped for amusment park shows. This book is about the many observations and discoveries and intimate views of animal behavior to challenge the boundaries between humans and non-human animals.

Sheila became a Life Peer in 2010 in recognition of her leadership in mental health and learning disability. Davvero straordinario, per l'empatia, per l'esposizione, per gli studi, per la passione e soprattutto per le testimonianze su quanto sono splendidi gli animali. In Hug Me Touch Me, Janet is rejected when she wants someone to hug her, because she always picks the wrong person. Elephants are one of my favorite animals of all time, and this book opens with the author in Africa working with one of the leading experts in the field - she's been there for over 40 years and has so much experience it boggles the brain. It is easy to read, packs a wealth of scientific information, encourages you to see the world from a different perspective but ultimately leaves you to drawer your own conclusions.Così armato di tutto l'entusiasmo e la voglia di capire, l'autore incontra persone che dedicano tutta la loro vita all'osservazione di specifici animali e cercando di carpirne l'essenza. My task now-a much harder task, a much deeper task-would be to endeavor to see who animals simply are-like us or not. Readers who knew this already will rejoice, others will learn the truth, and the more of us who capture the message, the sooner we will change the world. The social devastation to family structure and survival is covered in examples from each species in the aftermath a losses of the matriarch. Probably 20% of the adult population in the UK have literacy difficulties for one reason or another.

Humans are human- and we are also animals, with our physical lives on a continuum with other animals. The efforts to get to know these species in their natural state in the wild are confounded by stresses and losses due to impacts of mankind. Some of the conclusions drawn in reference to dog behavior are briefly referred to in Safina's book. He lives on Long Island, New York with his wife Patricia, the two best beach-running dogs in the world, some chickens, a couple of parrots, and Frankie the kingsnake. Along with Darwin's Origin and Richard Dawkins's Selfish Gene, BEYOND WORDS marks a major milestone in our evolving understanding of our place in nature.

She uses essential knowledge of their world for navigating long foraging treks to known sources of water and food at particular times of the year, and the skills of marshalling her family to successfully address dangers to young or infirm members in the face of predators. Beyond Words encompasses human language outside words, the realm of the sounds of the mouth, controlled and automatic, which bring depth, meaning and confusion in equal measure to our communication as humans.
