Once in a while it's a joy to come across an inspiring book which deserves to be consulted time and time again. Lesley Skipper's brilliantly researched and observed "Inside Your Horse's Mind" had that effect on me, as did Lucy Rees' "The Horse's Mind". For me, this beautifully written book, by the eminent animal biologist Marc Bekoff, will be sharing pride of place on my bookshelf.
This is a study which anyone who has an interest in animal behaviour will delight in. Behaviours such as loneliness and weaving amongst elephants, bereavement of donkeys and affection shared by whales remind us that all mammals share many neuroanatomical similarities, even if we cannot be sure that they experience emotion in the same way.

Bekoff and Byers' edited volume is an absolute must for students of animal behaviour - and especially those fascinated by the subject of play. The book is comprised of twelve chapters by leading workers in ethology, psychology, anthropology, and neurobiology, and covers all principal areas of recent play research: evolution, species-specific play, the different types of play (object, social, solitary, adult), the neurobiology of play, structure and function debates, and beyond. Each chapter is clearly laid out under subheadings and written in a user-friendly style, which gives this the added attraction of being a useful text to both read straight through, or to dip into again and again. This is a great book, which updates some of the traditional views ... Read More:
