Temple Grandin’s professional training as an animal scientist and her history as a person with autism have given her a perspective like that of no other expert in the field. Grandin and coauthor Catherine Johnson present their powerful theory that autistic people can often think the way animals think—putting autistic people in the perfect position to translate “animal talk.” Exploring animal pain, fear, aggression, love, friendship, communication, learning, and, even animal genius, Grandin is a faithful guide into their world. Animals in Translation reveals that animals are much smarter than anyone ever imagined, and Grandin, standing at the intersection of autism and animals, offers unparalleled observations and extraordinary ideas about both.

Jaw dropping book! So much valuable scientific material! But possibly because of that it is hard to listen to it for a longer period of time. Interesting new ideas which made me wonder how much we still do not know.

Exploding scientific book

a neighbours dog used to test fences and one day its collar was out of batteries and he crossed the boundary at a specific spot between a bush and a tree. now years later (the owner hasnt used the shock collar in some time) when the dog wants to escape to our yard it leaves their property through the same path between the bush and the tree and never dares leave by any other route, even if another way would be a more direct path. i guess to mix proverbs; if it aint broke, dont learn a new trick?

great read

Another fascinating book by Ms. Grandin! But the narration is not appropriate for the content. It sounds like the target audience is a kindergarten classroom. The pace is very slow (I listened at 1.25x) and she uses overly dramatic voicing for reading what are essentially research results. This isn’t a children’s book, but it sounds like one, as narrated. On a positive note, her voice is pleasing and she reads smoothly, so I still recommend this book highly.

Great book, odd narration

I love animals and have lived life with them since I was 5 years old. Horses and dogs. This book is fascinating about animals including ones I knew less about and also increases my insight into dogs. I now have my 3 nd service dogs and they both changed my life. I also really enjoyed the insight she provides on autism. It’s a great read

Great book
