ISBN: 9780231178334 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Animals fall in love, establish rules for fair play, exchange valued goods and services, hold "funerals" for fallen comrades, deploy sex as a weapon, and communicate with one another using rich vocabularies.

Monkeys address inequality, wolves miss each other, elephants grieve for their dead, and prairie dogs name the humans they encounter. Human and animal behavior is not as different as once believed.
In Not So Different, the biologist Nathan H. Lents argues that the same... Animals fall in love, establish rules for fair play, exchange valued goods and services, hold "funerals" for fallen comrades, deploy sex as a weapon, ...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) When Harambe, a now-famous gorilla at the Cinncinnati zoo, was shot for endangering a small child, animal rights activists protested, calling into question moral reasoning that privileges the possibility of injury to a human over definite violence to an animal.

How do we decide what animals deserve and how we ought to treat them? To what extent are our attitudes towards animals embedded in our subconscious...
