Decoding Animal Minds - Bridging...

John Harpoon

The question of whether animals possess consciousness has intrigued philosophers, scientists, and animal lovers for centuries. Consciousness, often described as the awareness of one's thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, is a concept that has been challenging to define, even in humans. When applied to animals, the puzzle becomes even more complex, as humans must contend with species whose mental processes are vastly different, yet still intriguing. 
For much of history, animals were thought to be little more than instinctual beings, driven by basic needs and lacking the higher cognitive functions attributed to humans. Early philosophers, such as René Descartes, even went so far as to declare that animals were mere automata, incapable of experiencing consciousness or complex thoughts. This perspective began to shift, however, with the growing body of research into animal behavior and cognition, which showed that many animals exhibit problem-solving skills, emotional responses, and even a sense of self. 
Theories of animal intelligence have evolved over time, with a growing recognition that animal minds are not simply mechanical, but can possess depth and complexity. Cognitive ethology, the study of animal minds in their natural environments, emphasizes that animals may experience the world in ways similar to humans, but with distinct differences shaped by their evolutionary paths. From elephants who demonstrate clear evidence of grief, to dolphins that engage in sophisticated social interactions, the evidence suggests that animals may possess emotional and cognitive layers far more intricate than previously imagined.

The Last Wilderness

Murray Morgan, Tim McNulty

Murray Morgan's classic history of the Olympic Peninsula, originally published in 1955, evokes a remote American wilderness "as large as the state of Massachusetts, more rugged than the Rockies, its lowlands blanketed by a cool jungle of fir and pine and cedar, its peaks bearing hundreds of miles of living ice that gave rise to swift rivers alive with giant salmon." 
 
 
 
Drawing on historical research and personal tales collected from docks, forest trails, and waterways, Morgan recounts vivid adventures of the area's settlers—loggers, hunters, prospectors, homesteaders, utopianists, murderers, profit-seekers, conservationists, Wobblies, and bureaucrats—alongside stories of coastal first peoples and striking descriptions of the peninsula's wildlife and land. 
 
 
 
Freshly redesigned and with a new introduction by poet and environmentalist Tim McNulty, this humor-filled saga and landmark love story of one of the most formidably beautiful regions of the Pacific Northwest will inform and engage a new generation of listeners.
