Klappentext:
A New York Times Notable Book of 2020
'Bracing and enlightening' Science
Culture is something exclusive to human beings, isn't it?
Not so, says intrepid researcher Carl Safina.
Becoming Wild reveals the rich cultures that survive in some of Earth's remaining wild places. By showing how sperm whales, scarlet macaws and chimpanzees teach and learn, Safina offers a fresh understanding of what is constantly going on beyond humanity, and how we're all connected.
'Becoming Wild demands that we wake up' Telegraph
Rezension:
'[A] bracing and enlightening book... Safina's writing on the watery depths and its denizens is sublime... [challenging] us to be more acutely aware of species whose social lives have much to teach us.'
