Sinopsis

Donner (a former teacher of animal husbandry) reviews what she sees as the differences between humans and animals. She finds that animals are much closer to us than westerners tend to believe. Exploring issues of communication, emotion, sexuality, and even morality, she argues that differences tend to be only in matters of degree, not in kind. The major difference she finds is the global threat humans pose to the environment and the survival of numerous species, including our own. She ends on a hopeful note however, suggesting that human beings also have the flexibility to solve environmental problems. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
