内容説明
Challenging the concept that conscious thinking is an attribute unique to humans, this work examines animal behaviour along with the structure and functioning of the brain to give an understanding of how animals think. Scientific evidence for the existence of thinking and awareness in birds and other animals is presented. The importance of animal thinking to the widely debated issues of animal welfare and animal rights is also considered.
