Jane Goodall

One of the world's most famous animal lovers tells a unique and passionate real-life story that gives reason to hope for the future of the natural world.
The incredible rate at which various animals and plants are disappearing from the planet is shocking. Scientists believe that habitats across the globe are losing dozens of species every day.
Jane Goodall, who has become one of the standard-bearers for animal conservation through her numerous books, television programs and intimate work with animals, is nonetheless defiant - 'While there is life there is hope', she states in her introduction to this profound and uplifting book.
Working in very demanding natural and political environments, conservationists risk their lives to save animals from the brink of extinction. Jane's unique access takes us inside these programs, meeting first-hand a vast range of animals from Giant Pandas in China to the young generation of Whooping ...

Meet Mohan, a rhino whose feet would not stop bleeding. And Patch, a hobby falcon who broke his wishbone. And Kachina, a black bear who spent the first months of her life in a complete body cast because her bones were so brittle. Not to mention Alfredito the hippo, who suffered from toothache for weeks because he was too large to be sedated safely. All these animals owe their lives to the dedicated and pioneering zoo vets who cared for them, often performing daring procedures in unprecedented circumstances. In this fascinating book, these vets - and many others besides - tell the stories of their most unusual cases, describing not only the ingenious techniques they employed but also the bonds that grew up between them and their exotic patients. Whether it's one doctor's heartbreaking effort to save a critically ill lemur, the neurosurgeon with no training in veterinary science who agreed to operate on a paralysed kangaroo, or the vet ...

Paperback

"Bats Sing, Mice Giggle" tracks many years of research by hundreds of scientists that reveals how wild animals, as well as pets, have inner, secret lives of which until recently - although many animal lovers will have instinctively believed it - we have had little proof. The authors show how animal 'friends' stay in touch, and how they warn and help each other in times of danger; how some animals problem-solve as or in some instances even more effectively than humans - and how they regulate, create, and entertain themselves and others. They show how animals express grief and reverence in ways we never thought possible. From the sleep patterns of some owls, birds and horses, as well as porpoises, who go to sleep in only one half of their brains at a time; to how schools of electric fish give off complex signals of one frequency to communicate with their mates and another frequency to locate their prey, and how Polar bears tune into ...
