RaveThe Washington PostAnimals is a natural follow-on to Trees and just as beautifully questions human assumptions about nature. As he turns from plants to animals, Wohlleben again shares relevant science plus his own carefully honed insights on his subjects...a tidy, polite little book. Each quick chapter is a sweet rush, a palm full of candy that makes you crave just a little bit more ...packs each chapter with stories and, where it exists, scientific evidence, so the reader feels nearly sated ...doesn’t proselytize as much as nudge readers to look not just at the evidence of animals’ complex lives but at what’s in our hearts about right and wrong ...Wohlleben’s words are bound to touch even the animal-emotion skeptic.
