Pages are clean and tight; this is a NEW book. Illustrated with 38 b/w photographs. Originally published in UK in 1999. "In an engrossing tour of the many species we share our plane with, Ford reveals how all living things feel and communicate in ways that, though mysterious to us, are very real. He cites a growing body of research to show that we are surrounded not by brute beasts we can use at will, but by sensitive souls with emotions and responses we must respect...." Certainly not news to those of us who already love and respect animals, plants and all of Mother Nature's wonderful gifts. But very important book in bringing this information to those whom have for too long assumed that humans are the center, the end-all, be-all, of this planet. ; B&W Photographs; 6 1/4 x 9 1/4; 320 pages; Cover has light shelf wear and bumping.
