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
我们总是会听到这样的说法:人类把狼驯服成了狗。其实狼也驯化了人类,如果人类的祖先在十几万年前就开始和狼同居开始将它们驯化为狗,人类社会的很多特性可能是从狼学来的,比如一夫一妻,结交朋友,复杂的社会结构,捕猎时的团体作战,这些都是大猩猩所没有的。 现今,人类和...
评分希望看了我的笔记,你也和我一样觉得这是一本有趣的书 -大象用人类听不到的声波互传信息,跺脚也是一种传递方式 -选择单性状繁殖会让公鸡变成强奸犯 -中国的猪比美国的猪更热衷做那种事,一有机会就会实施。和现实中的人刚好相反,看来在性方面,中国的猪还是为国争了光 -...
评分动物和自闭症患者观察到的是实际的世界,包括人们常常忽视的具体细节,並不只是概念中的世界。 动物学教授坦普尔·葛兰汀,两岁时被检查出患有自闭症,然而她化劣势为优势,用独特的视角,向人们阐述动物的思维方式及动物科学的知识。 这本书让我们了解自闭症的世界以及动物的...
评分各位看完本书后,如果对作者格兰丁感兴趣,可以看看《火星上的人类学家》这本书。(新浪爱问上有TXT下载)书的第一章就是写她的,篇幅不长,可以看做是一篇小传吧。书里从一个心理学家的角度描述了她--一个自闭症患者和正常人是多么的不同。 在常人眼里格兰丁举止怪异...
评分我觉得,通篇这本书就是一个问题,除了我们自以为正常的方式,是否还存在其它方式感知这个世界。 如果我没有搞错,这本书是一个自闭症者写的,再经一个自闭症者或深入体验自闭症的人文字润色。大概因此,行文有着有点特殊的逻辑、节奏和直截了当。很让我觉得尴尬的是,作者是个...
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!
评分确实满满都是干货,但过去这么久了,感觉人对动物还是缺少认识和尊重。
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。
