Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The award-winning scientist who revolutionised our understanding of dog intelligence offers amazing new insights into the interior lives of our best and smartest animal friends 'Entertaining, fast-moving, and filled with gee-whiz insights.' John Grogan, author ofMarley & Me The journey began wit…h a gut reaction. When award-winning scientist Dr Brian Hare watched a chimpanzee fail to read a simple human hand gesture in an intelligence test, he blurted out, My dog can do that! The psychologist running the test challenged him to prove it, sending Hare on an odyssey to unlock the cognitive and evolutionary mysteries of our four-legged friends. Hares research over the past two decades has yielded startling discoveries about how dogs think. He has pioneered studies that have proven that dogs exhibit a brand of genius for getting along with people that is unique in the animal kingdom, and that when dogs domesticated themselves around 40,000 years ago they became far more like human infants than their wolf ancestors. These findings are transforming how we live and work with our canine friends, and how we understand them. Is your dog purposefully disobeying you? Probably, and often behind your back. Should you act like top dog to maintain control? No, youre better off displaying your friendliness not just to your dog but to everyone around you. Which breed is cleverest? As it happens, breed doesnt matter much, though other factors do. These are just some of the extraordinary insights to be found inThe Genius of Dogs the seminal book on how dogs evolved their unique intelligence alongside human companions, and how you can use this groundbreaking science to build a better relationship with your own dog. *** 'Every dog-lover will enjoy this book.'Mail on Sunday 'The definitive dog book of our timeby the researcher who started a revolution.'Daniel Levitin 'You would be hard-pressed to find a more cheerful, optimistic and warm-hearted read.'Spectator.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The so-called new materialism argues that science and religious belief are incompatible. From Cosmology to Biology, its exponents have included such eminent names as Stephen Hawking, Richard Dawkins, Peter Atkins and Michael Ruse. With a carefully argued, point by point refutation of scientific…atheism, God, Chance and Necessity shows that modern scientific knowledge does not undermine belief in God, but actually points to the existence of God as the best explanation of the way things are. Thus, it sets out to demolish the claims of books like The Selfish Gene, and to show that the overwhelming appearance of design in nature is not deceptive.
