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...
评分早阵子有流浪猫惨遭虐杀,爱护动物团体发起反虐杀游行,未几,又有人将已怀孕的野生赤麂,以铁铲活活打死,上周被重判入狱半年。 对于这种凶徒,我们很可能想到「没人性」、「禽兽」、「畜牲」等说法,吊诡的是,这类狠话恰恰把动物视作低人一等的卑贱之物。 我想起今届高考中...
大可不以autistic person的角度来看temple,某种意义上,在他们的世界里,或会比我们更专注于某些人与事,temple只不过是其中最为成功、出类拔萃的一个,这样可能就不难解释她会成为一名如此出色的animal scientist。相对于自负浮夸喜怒无常奸险野蛮功利的人类而言,与动物的沟通很简单,且有着友善的互动与交流。Temple Grandin的成长历程是一次很好的启发,先看她的自传电影,再看这本书吧。都很好。

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。
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。
