But have you ever wondered what's going on in an animal's head?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore and more researchers are realising that animals in fact experience a rich emotional life. Acting as our interpreter of the animal world and of the fascinating science, Peter Wohlleben brings this new research to life with his own observations of his favourite creatures. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the leafy forest floor to the inside of a bee hive, The Inner Life of Animals shows us microscopic levels of observation as well as forcing us to confront the big philosophical, ethical and scientific questions. We hear the stories of a grateful humpback whale, of a hedgehog who has nightmares, and of a magpie who commits adultery; we meet bees that plan for the future, pigs who learn their own names and crows that go tobogganing for fun. And at last we find out why wasps exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur fellow creatures are not mindless automatons driven by an inflexible genetic code, but individuals with personality and feeling. The Inner Life of Animals will show you these living things in a new light and will open up the animal kingdom like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Wohlleben","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47419754184947,"sku":"8880002840314","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9781847924551.jpg?v=1752523316","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/the-inner-life-of-animals-peter-wohlleben-9781847924551","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
