Description
Barbara J. King explores the complex and often overlooked world of animal grief in this thought-provoking study.
Through a series of moving case studies, King examines how animals respond to loss, from the elephants that surround their dying matriarch to a housecat's prolonged mourning after losing her sister. By applying anthropological insights to these stories, she sheds new light on the emotional lives of non-human creatures and challenges our assumptions about the boundaries between species.
This book offers a unique perspective on the intricate web of life, death, love, and loss that connects us all - human and animal alike.
