Sinossi

Animal Laughter Science presents a groundbreaking exploration of play-associated vocalizations and emotional expressions across the animal kingdom, challenging traditional views about non-human emotional behaviors. The book weaves together decades of research to demonstrate how laughter-like responses serve crucial social bonding and developmental functions in various species, from rats and dolphins to primates.

 
Through a carefully structured progression, the text first establishes the neurobiological foundations of play circuits and vocalizations before diving into fascinating case studies. Readers discover how rat ultrasonic chirps, dolphin click patterns, and great ape facial expressions all represent evolved forms of social coordination signals. The research draws upon cutting-edge technologies, including sophisticated acoustic monitoring and advanced recording equipment, to provide concrete evidence of these shared behavioral patterns.

 
What makes this work particularly valuable is its interdisciplinary approach, connecting findings from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and behavioral ecology. While maintaining scientific rigor, the book remains accessible to both specialists and informed general readers, carefully avoiding unfounded claims about animal consciousness while presenting compelling evidence for shared emotional expression mechanisms across species.

 
The practical applications extend into animal welfare and conservation, offering insights that can improve how we understand and interact with various animal species.

Rethinking Rescue - Dog Lady and...

Carol Mithers

In Los Angeles's most underserved communities, Lori Weise is known as the Dog Lady, the woman who's spent decades caring for people in poverty and the animals that love them. Long before anyone else, Weise grasped that animal and human suffering are inextricably connected and created a new rescue narrative, an enduring safety net empowering pet owners and providing resources to reduce the number of pets coming into shelters. 
 
 
 
Rethinking Rescue: Dog Lady and the Story of America's Forgotten People and Pets unites the causes of animal welfare and social justice, moving between Weise's story and that of the US rescue movement: from the dog's twentieth-century transition from property to family to the rise of the no kill campaign to stop shelter euthanasia and the contradictions that hampered those efforts. Through captivating storytelling and investigative reporting, Carol Mithers examines the consequences of bias within this overwhelmingly white movement, where an overemphasis on placing animals in affluent homes often disregards pet owners in poverty. Weise's innovative and ultimately triumphant efforts revealed a better way. 
 
 
 
Rethinking Rescue boldly confronts two of the biggest challenges of our time—poverty and homelessness—in asking the very humane question, Who deserves the love of a pet?

Oranges

John McPhee

A classic of reportage, Oranges was first conceived as a magazine article, but John McPhee kept encountering so much irresistible information that he wrote a book. It is perhaps the last word on the subject (the first came in 500 BC and is attributed to Confucius). McPhee writes about the botany, history, and industry of oranges, from the great orangeries of European monarchs to a fascinating profile of Ben Hill Griffin of Frostproof, Florida, who may be the last of the individual orange barons. 
 
 
 
Oranges developed in Southeast Asia, and they spread through the world with a timing closely parallel to the spread of Western civilization. It was Columbus himself who brought the first orange seeds to the New World. Botanically, they are spectacularly complicated. They can be completely unripe when they are a brilliant orange and deliciously ripe when they are green as emeralds. Citrus is so genetically perverse that oranges can grow from lime seeds. Most Florida oranges grow on lemon roots. Louis XIV hung tapestries of oranges in the halls of Versailles because oranges and orange trees were the symbols of his nature and his reign. This book, in a sense, is a tapestry of oranges, too—with elements in it that range from the customs of French kings to those of people in the modern Caribbean who split oranges and clean floors with them, one half in each hand.
