The Parrot's Lament

And Other True Tales of Animal Intrigue,
Intelligence & Ingenuity

by Eugene Linden

Book Description
Do animals think, talk, and feel? To anyone who has ever owned a pet, and to animal experts such as zookeepers and field biologists, the answer to this question is obvious: absolutely. Yet this possibility is debated with much skepticism in the scientific community. Now, for the first time, award-winning environmentalist and nature writer Eugene Linden offers compelling evidence in favor of "animal consciousness"--the next great scientific frontier. In The Parrot's Lament, Linden has compiled more than one hundred true stories demonstrating how animals experience and engage in very "human" behaviors, from strategy, deception, and game playing, to humor, grief, heroism, and compassion. Eugene Linden's previous books on animal cognition inspired many of the major figures in the field today. The New York Times stated, "Mr. Linden knows the minefield well, and guides us through it with intelligence and unfailing good humor."

* Eugene Linden is the winner of many major awards for his work, including the Genesis Award and the Walter Sullivan Award

* The author will donate a portion of his royalities to the World Wildlife Fund TRAFFIC program (monitoring trade in endangered species) and the Humane Society of America
