Filled with captivating stories and thought-provoking analysis, this book is a groundbreaking exploration of animal behaviour that profoundly affects the way we think about animals - and ourselves. In this new edition, Rupert Sheldrake builds on his years of extensive studies.

With a scientist's mind and an animal lovers compassion, Sheldrake not only provides a fascinating look into animal and human behaviour, but also teaches us to question the boundaries of conventional scientific thought.
