Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. From two of the worlds leading authorities on dogs, an imaginative journey into a future of dogs without peopleWhat would happen to dogs if humans simply disappeared? Would dogs be able to survive on their own without us? A Dogs World imagines a post-human future for dogs, revealing how dogs would surviveand possibly even thrive and explaining how this new and revolutionary perspective can guide how we interact with dogs now.Drawing on biology, ecology, and the latest findings on the lives and behaviour of dogs and their wild relatives, Jessica Pierce and Marc Bekoff two of todays most innovative thinkers about dogs explore who dogs might become without direct human intervention into breeding, arranged playdates at the dog park, regular feedings, and veterinary care. Pierce and Bekoff show how dogs are quick learners who are highly adaptable and opportunistic, and offer compelling evidence that dogs already do survive on their own and could do so in a world without us.Challenging the notion that dogs would be helpless without their human counterparts, A Dogs World enables us to understand these independent and remarkably intelligent animals on their own terms.'Jessica Pierce and Marc Bekoff are in top form in A Dogs World as they explore the fate of dogs on a planet from which people have suddenly vanished. The genius of this book lies in the way it reveals how fact-based knowledge can lead to a richer, deeper understanding of the unique talents and abilities of our fellow creatures. This is a perfect read as we attempt to sort out the COVID-19 pandemics legacy.' Mark Derr, author of Dogs Best Friend'We think we know our dogs, but who are they, really? By imagining their world without us, A Dogs World helps us understand what dogs needand dont needfrom us to live their happiest, most fulfilling lives. This entertaining and challenging book will enlarge our respect for beloved creatures we too often take for granted.' Sy Montgomery, author of How to Be a Good Creature: A Memoir in Thirteen Animals'Not only a fascinating flight of imagination into what dogdom might become in a world without people, this book will make you see your own dog in a new and more objective light.' John Bradshaw, author of the New York Times bestseller Dog Sense'Decentering humans from dogs lives will help dogs thrivewhat a fascinating theme Pierce and Bekoff develop! Their speculations about a posthuman world offer us innovative and profoundly compassionate ways forward for living with dogs right now. This is a must-have book for all animal lovers.' Barbara J. King, author of Animals Best Friends: Putting Compassion to Work for Animals in Captivity and in the Wild'We often imagine what life would be like without our dogs, but Pierce and Bekoff brilliantly reimagine what it would be like for dogs without us. Reading A Dogs World is like seeing clearly through their eyes for the first time. If you love dogs, this is the most important book you will read.' Brian Hare, coauthor of The Genius of Dogs: How Dogs Are Smarter Than You Think'A riveting, deeply thought-provoking book that prompts us to question who dogs truly are and what could enable them to have satisfying lives, with or without human companions. A Dogs World is an important book that is likely to change our perspective on dog guardianship.'
