JONATHAN BALCOMBE

05/28/2010 7:00 pm
Animal behaviorist Jonathan Balcombe, author of the critically acclaimed book, Pleasurable Kingdom, returns this evening with information about animal emotions, problem-solving, and moral judgment, challenging the idea that only humans practice kindness, have nuanced understanding of social dynamics and avoid violence—all subjects of his new book, Second Nature: The Inner Lives of Animals (Palgrave). "Balcombe builds a compelling case for blurring the line between animal and human perception ... a passionate and persuasive argument for vegetarianism on both humanitarian and environmental grounds." - Publishers Weekly. "Second Nature's rich treatment of animal awareness, cognition, emotion, perception, and virtue provides the foundation for Balcombe's powerful core argument—that we humans can do better, by the other inhabitants of Planet Earth." - Wayne Pacelle, The Humane Society, USA.
