Description: We seem to need animals in our disconnected lives more and more, yet we understand them less and less. New York Times bestselling author Jon Katz--who left Manhattan behind two decades ago for life on a farm where he is surrounded by dogs, cats, sheep, horses, cows, goats and chickens--marshals his experience to offer us a deeper insight into animals and the tools needed for effectively communicating with them. By better understanding animal instincts, recognizing they are not mere reflections of our own human emotions an neuroses, we can help them live happily in our shared world.
