Dogs Never Lie About Love: Reflections on the Emotional World of Dogs
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson; Paperback - 274 pages (September 1998); $11.20
"Dogs feel more than I do (I am not prepared to speak for other people)," Sanskrit scholar Masson asserts. "They feel more, and they feel more purely and more intensely." Often, however, he seems to be writing less about animals than humans: "In searching for why we are so inhibited compared with dogs, perhaps we can learn to be as direct, as honest, as straightforward, and especially as intense in our feelings as dogs are." Masson offers several proofs that dogs do take the high moral road. --Kerry Fried |

In the Company of Animals: A Study of Human-Animal Relationships (Canto)
James Serpell; Paperback Revised edition (October 1996); $11.16
Contrasting the way we love some animals while ruthlessly exploiting others, this study provides a detailed and fascinating account of the ways in which animal companionship can influence our health. It provides a key to the moral contradiction inherent in our treatment of animals and nature. What purpose, if any, do pets really serve? Are they simply an outlet for misplaced love? Or four-legged friends who help us to satisfy vital emotional needs? Whatever they are, when we elevate pets to the status of social companions, we undermine the distinction between human and non-human. In other words, pets force us to confront the moral contradictions inherent in our treatment of animals in general. Pursuing this idea to its logical conclusion, the author uncovers a fascinating and disturbing trail of myths, evasions and double standards which humans have used since earliest times to justify their subjugation of nature and other life forms. Through an exploration of the phenomenon of pet-keeping across history and between cultures, this thought-provoking study reassesses our relationships with animals and the natural world. |

When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals
Susan McCarthy, Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson; Paperback - 291 pages (June 1996); $11.16
This national bestseller exploring the complex emotional lives of animals was hailed as "a masterpiece" by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas and as "marvelous" by Jane Goodall. Not since Darwin's The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals has a book so thoroughly and effectively explored the full range of emotions that exist throughout the animal kingdom. From dancing squirrels to bashful gorillas to spiteful killer whales, Masson and coauthor Susan McCarthy bring forth fascinating anecdotes and illuminating insights that offer powerful proof of the existence of animal emotion. Chapters on love, joy, anger, fear, shame, compassion, and loneliness are framed by a provocative re-evaluation of how we treat animals, from hunting and eating them to scientific experimentation. Forming a complete and compelling picture of the inner lives of animals, When Elephants Weep assures that we will never look at animals in the same way again. |

Peaceful Kingdom: Random Acts of Kindness By Animals
Stephanie Laland; 1997; paperback; 224 pages; $9.56
Peaceful Kingdom chronicles amazing true stories of devotion and bravery from the animal world. Included are both well-publicized cases, such as the gorilla who tenderly carried an injured child to safety, and the more obscure--the German shepherd who visited the grave of his deceased owner every day at the same hour. Even ants are caught in heroic acts: they're observed pulling a thorn from an injured comrade. The animals in this book are viewed as compassionate, thinking creatures that experience real emotions--hardly news to animal lovers. Peaceful Kingdom also reflects human acts of kindness to animals. Edward Lear, the famous author of "The Owl and the Pussycat," built his new house as an exact replica of his old one to keep from traumatizing his beloved cat. Peaceful Kingdom is an intriguing and heartwarming journey into the lives of some astonishing animals. |

Communicating With Animals: The Spiritual Connection Between People and Nature
Arthur Myers; Paperback - 256 pages; $11.96
I truly believe this is the best book I have written, and I've written quite a few. I feel it is the most spiritual, and also the most fun to read, of any I've written. Communicating with animals - and nature in general - is really exciting, and it's for real. I interviewed some 50 professional animal communicators, and they are impressive people - educated, intelligent, idealistic and spiritual. They all say the same things - that animals are automatically telepathic; that humans are also telepathic, even though most of us have forgotten this - but we can learn to remember it; that animals reincarnate; that they sometimes return to the same people in different bodies; that they have ghosts; that they can be healed, physically and emotionally; that they sometimes heal us humans. - Art Myers, Author |

Talking With the Animals
Patty Summers; Paperback - 192 pages (September 1998); $10.36
Patty Summers has a remarkable gift--she talks with animals. She doesn't just talk to animals, she converses with them. A regular Doctor Dolittle, Summers shares stories of the animals in her life--dogs, cats, and even an iguana named Quasar. Talking with the Animals will bring a smile to your face, and sometimes a tear to your eye, but there is more here than a human interpretation of animal antics. These stories are told as much by the animals themselves and will teach you as much about the humans on this planet as they do about the furry, feathered, and scaly creatures we share our lives with. --Brian Patterson |

Conversations With Animals: Cherished Messages and Memories As Told by an Animal Communicator
Lydia Hiby and Bonnie Weintraub; Paperback - 192 pages (May 28, 1998); $10.36
The authors' experiences, stories, and suggestions for communicating with your own animal, make this book a fascinating read. Lydia Hiby has been talking with animals for some 18 years, primarily using what she describes as "picture talking." Thousands of clients (people and animals) attest to the authenticity of Hiby's work as an animal communicator, and that improved communication between animals and humans definitely makes a difference in their lives. My hope as publisher is that this book will open more human eyes to the reality that all animals are living beings deserving of the same respect and compassion that human beings accord one another. Perhaps when humans learn to treat animals with respect and compassion, we will then learn to do the same with one another. -- Maureen R. Michelson |
