I finished Reaching the Animal Mind at about 3:30 this morning. Couldn't stop reading! Funny, moving, surprising, informative - what a great book! I enjoyed Karen's adventures in using a marker to train various animals to not only perform, but to think and create. I was surprised to learn the Answers to how the brain uses the click (or other marker), and how it is so different from verbal markers. Chasing down the scientists was a job well done in itself!
I'm fascinated by the use of the Internet to supplement the book so well. The videos, pictures and articles illustrated the stories and brought them to life.
Thanks to Karen for writing this book, as well as her previous books.
