Highly recommend for those who care about nature and all animals.
Wonderful follow-up to his brilliant "Pleasurable Kingdom".
Balcombe is a very insightful and gifted writer. He presents a look at the animal world that all but a few humans never take the time to consider.
Through stories and scientific research, he shows us that the other animals share much more with us than we generally give them credit for. The experiences of wonder, discovery, love, compassion, sorrow, trust, envy and even altruism, - that most humans have reserved only for our species. A real eye-opener for those who care little about the lives of our neighbors and kin in the animal world.

A few errors, but loaded with fascinating information.
I like to read the history of such things, as I have an interest in cultural anthropology. Too bad it doesn't have a more appealing cover.

Blue Book of Pool Cues by Brad Simpson (2005)
2 of 2 found this helpful My hobby as a pool player for 52 years is buying pool cues on Ebay so that I can try them out and either keep them or re-sell them. This book was an immense help in recognizing and determining the value of old cues. I do wish that the cue makers would list even more of their old collectible cues, but I have the last three editions of the Blue Book and I recommend them to any collectors of cues or just those who love pool.
