What Sheep Think About the Weather

‘Blend the lively, buoyant writing of an award-winning non-scientist with a boat-load of direct experiences with animals, and you have this book. I found it both illuminating and entertaining from start to finish.’ Jonathan Balcombe, author of Super Fly and What a Fish Knows ‘A must read for anyone interested in how nonhuman animals (animals) talk with one another and with us ... Based on the latest science, fascinating stories and personal reflections, this easy-to-read, fact-filled and fun-filled book will open all of your senses including your sense of awe and get you to wonder what it is like to be one of them in their worlds, not ours.’ Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals ‘Every single page of this marvellous book will challenge you, even enchant you … I cannot recommend it highly enough.’ Jeffrey Masson, author of When Elephants Weep ‘Amelia Thomas is a powerful storyteller and has hit it out of the park in this contemporary anthology of our relationship with animals. From cuttlefish to cows, this brilliantly written and emotionally charged page-turner is a masterpiece and masterclass for all animals – human and nonhuman.’ Pilley Bianchi, author of For the Love of Dog 'A warm and thought-provoking read, filled with plenty of charm and wit. You'll never look at animals the same way.' Jules Howard, author of Wonderdog 'Compelling, original and surprisingly introspective, What Sheep Think About the Weather simultaneously uncovers the animal in us and the human in animals.' Hannah Bourne-Taylor, author of Nature Needs You Praise for The Zoo on the Road to Nablus   ‘Engaging, often inspiring and sometimes poignant’ Daily Mail ‘Beautifully written and entertaining’ Washington Post ‘Unique and fascinating’ Publisher’s Weekly
