New edition of the classic text that first explored the telepathic methods of communication of wild animals. Many sources have commented on the silent communication abilities of pets, but never before and not since the first publication of this book in 1919 has the subject of animal telepathy in the wild been so fully researched. "How Animals Talk" explores the phenomenon of vocal, silent, and even motionless communication among animals. From crow talk to instant herd communication, author William Long theorizes that animals are much more intelligent, emotional, and moral than we have traditionally thought and that their ability to sense the presence of other living beings in an innate ability shared by humans as well. Based on many years of field observations, this classic text contains numerous examples of animal behaviour that defy conventional explanation. Long believed in the importance and validity of anecdotal evidence. He recognised the dangers of conventional research in reducing animals to mere numbers and how the cold third-person prose of scientific study can objectify animals, distancing us from them. His findings on the impact of our presence on animal life - and the cost that we pay in separating ourselves from animals, who help define our place in the natural world - may be more relevant today than ever before.
