I don't know if people will ever be able to talk to animals the way Doctor Doolittle could, or whether animals will be able to talk back. Maybe science will have something to say about that. But I do know people can learn to "talk" to animals, and to hear what animals have to say, better than they do now. --From Animals in Translation
Why would a cow lick a tractor? Why are collies getting dumber? Why do dolphins sometimes kill for fun? How can a parrot learn to spell? How did wolves teach man to evolve? Temple Grandin draws upon a long, distinguished career as an animal scientist and her own experiences with autism to deliver an extraordinary message about how animals act, think, and feel. She has a perspective like that of no other expert in the field, which allows her to offer unparalleled observations and groundbreaking ideas.
People with autism can often think the way animals think, putting them in the perfect position to translate "animal talk." Grandin is a faithful guide into their world, exploring animal pain, fear, aggression, love, friendship, communication, learning, and, yes, even animal genius. The sweep of Animals in Translation is immense and will forever change the way we think about animals.
*includes a Behavior and Training Troubleshooting Guide Among its provocative ideas, the book:
argues that language is not a requirement for consciousness--and that animals do have consciousness applies the autism theory of "hyper-specificity" to animals, showing that animals and autistic people are so sensitive to detail that they "can't see the forest for the trees"--a talent as well as a "deficit" explores the "interpreter" in the normal human brain that filters out detail, leaving people blind to much of the reality that surrounds them--a reality animals and autistic people see, sometimes all too clearlyexplains how animals have "superhuman" skills: animals have animal geniuscompares animals to autistic savants, declaring that animals may in fact be autistic savants, with special forms of genius that normal people do not possess and sometimes cannot even see examines how humans and animals use their emotions to think, to decide, and even to predict the future reveals the remarkable abilities of handicapped people and animals maintains that the single worst thing you can do to an animal is to make it feel afraid
文/宝木笑 不知从何时开始,人类研究心理学的过程中开始充满着动物们的身影,动物们除了要满足人们的捕猎欲、口舌欲、观赏欲等之外,还要成为人们的实验品。心理学史上从来不缺少“明星”,比如巴甫洛夫的狗、斯金纳的鸽子、托尔曼的老鼠等等。小时候我们在生物课上就学到过巴...
评分我小时候,所处的环境对知识有种偏见,认为凡是不能提高成绩,不能赚钱的知识,都是无用的——比如研究花草、动物、宇宙或者古生物。 所以拿到这本书的第一感觉,就是“天呐,世界上竟然有做这种研究的人,还研究的这么严肃认真!”这感叹完全是种钦佩,钦佩有人可以研...
评分这本书《Animals in Translation》在大陆翻译为书名《我们为什么不说话》,华东师范大学出版社出版,章节内容和台湾版的差不多。大陆的朋友推荐读一读。 行文流畅,妙趣横生,记忆犹新,兴趣盎然。
评分【读品】罗豫/文 童话世界里,能听懂动物语言的,多是天赋异禀之人。小说和电影中,不时也有拉风的动物当配角,它们和人灵犀相同,关键时刻还能舍己救人。但在动物学家眼里,这些大都是人类一厢情愿的文学叙事。对于那些喜欢动物,或者在工作中要和动物接触的人而言,一本真正...
我才不会告诉你我上了一门叫animal behaviour的课然后再读这本书呢!
评分帮助我们更深刻的理解动物的行为及想法,也帮助我们了解自闭症患者。
评分这本书呢,很多部分都是叙述作者训练自己去被动IC,更偏向于物理描述,但对主动ITC来说也有一定的参考意义,似乎作为基准用书更为恰当一些。
评分又读一遍 做幸福的动物其实也挺难的
评分论自闭症患者和动物的思考方式与普通人的不同~不要以己度人,不要以为动物的想法跟你一样。动物有很多本能,遇到合适的信号就会触发。动物的大脑神经连接简单,所以他们的想法也简单,没有那么复杂的情感,所以不会得抑郁症,也不容易出毛病。
