Description
Elephant Sense and Sensibility is a comprehensive treatment of the full range of elephant behavior. Beginning with chapters on evolution and the elephant’s brain, this ebook is an integrated presentation of the elephant’s capacity for memory, morality, emotion, empathy, altruism, language, intelligence, learning and teaching. Grounded primarily in scientific research, the ebook also draws upon anecdotal and visual evidence showing elephants thinking, acting, feeling and behaving in ways that we, as humans, recognize. This complete treatment of elephant behavior supported by the extensive literature, along with anecdotal and photographic material, provides an overview not available in any other text. This ebook covers a variety of aspects that relate to behavior, ranging from brain function and sensory input to communication, learning, and intelligence; it features an interdisciplinary approach to behavior, with vital information included and integrated from several key disciplines. 135 p.
