"Are animals telling us something? Amelia Thomas couldn't stop wondering what the animals around her were trying to say-whether it was the bee that wouldn't stop flying around her head, the cows in the random pasture that would walk right up to greet her, the sheep that seems peeved by the weather, or her own puppy yipping and whining even after her every need has seemingly been met. Soon enough, she set out to answer the question: What are animals truly seeking to communicate, not to each other, but to us humans? Her quest will introduce readers to a myriad scientists, experts, and practitioners-from animal behaviorists to anthrozoologists; pet psychics to animal trainers; A.I. experts to indigenous trackers; animal mindfulness gurus to psychologists-all who are listening to vastly different species in vastly different ways. Because listening has never been so important, and if we can learn to do it better, we might find out that the animals have been talking to us all along"-- Provided by publisher.
