The emotional lives of animals : a leading scientist explores animal joy, sorrow, and empathy--and why they matter / Marc Bekoff ; foreword by Jane Goodall.

• Foreword / by Jane Goodall -- Preface : the gift of animal emotions -- The case for animal emotions and why they matter -- Cognitive ethology : studying animal minds and hearts -- Beastly passions : what animals feel -- Wild justice, empathy, and fair play : finding honor among beasts -- Hard questions : answering skeptics and addressing uncertainty in science -- Ethical choices : what we do with what we know.

• "In The Emotional Lives of Animals, Marc Bekoff has pulled together the growing body of scientific evidence that supports the existence of a variety of emotions in other animals, richly illustrated by his own careful observations...Combining careful scientific methodology with intuition and common sense, this book will be a great tool for those who are struggling to improve the lives of animals in environments where, so often, there is an almost total lack of understanding. I only hope it will persuade many people to reconsider the way they treat animals in the future." --Jane Goodall, from the foreword
