Animals in translation : the woman who thinks like a cow
Grandin, Temple2006
Book
This book from one of the world's most celebrated animal scientists could revolutionise our understanding of how animals think and feel. Drawing upon lastest resarch, her distinguished career as an animal scientist and her own experience of being autistic, Grandin argues that while 'normal people' convert experience into words and abstractions, animals and autistics process the world as sensory information - specific pictures, sights and sounds. This difference is the key to understanding how animals see, think and feel. As much a revelation about life with autism as it is about life with animals, Animals in translation explores pain, fear, aggression, love, friendship, communication and learning in a startling and enlightening book.
