In the Hearts of the Beasts forcefully demonstrates how the American empirical tradition of scientific inquiry pioneered the study of animal emotions during the long twentieth century. Extensively researched and beautifully written, this is a groundbreaking transnational analysis of a scientific field, the fascinating lives of its human practitioners, and the broader history of human and animal relationships."
