Description
The Creative Lives of Animals by Carol Gigliotti offers intimate glimpses into the creative choices made by animals in their natural habitats. From building shelters to inventing games, animal creativity has a significant impact on their social, cultural, and environmental worlds.
Drawing on scientific research, Gigliotti explores examples of creativity demonstrated by animals, such as the elaborate dams built by beavers or the lavishly decorated bowers of bowerbirds. This book presents a new perspective on animals as agents in their own lives, highlighting their importance as individuals and creators of a healthy, biodiverse world.
By examining animal creativity through the lens of the creative process, Gigliotti sheds light on animal intelligence, emotion, and self-awareness. This thought-provoking book offers insights into both established and emerging questions about animal creativity, making it an engaging read for anyone interested in understanding the natural world.
