Bekoff Marc Title : Nella mente e nel cuore dei cani. Vita emotiva e comportamento del vostro miglior amico
Author: Bekoff Marc
Publisher: Carocci

Nonostante tutto l'amore e le attenzioni che dedichiamo ai nostri cani, non sempre siamo in grado di comprendere che cosa passa nelle loro teste e nei loro cuori. Partendo dagli studi più recenti sulle capacità cognitive ed emotive dei cani, Bekoff non solo ci spiega il comportamento dei nostri amici a quattro zampe, ma ci insegna anche come migliorare la qualità delle loro vite offrendoci un'incredibile quantità di informazioni pratiche e sfatando allo stesso tempo molti dei miti più diffusi. Ci sono sicuramente molte cose che ancora ignoriamo dei cani, ma è certo che hanno una profonda vita emotiva e che, come loro compagni umani, abbiamo il dovere di rendere le loro esistenze il più possibile ricche e soddisfacenti. Presentazione di Angelo Vaira.

Bekoff Marc Title : Nella mente e nel cuore dei cani. Vita emotiva e comportamento del vostro miglior amico
Author: Bekoff Marc
Publisher: Carocci

Nonostante tutto l'amore e le attenzioni che dedichiamo ai nostri cani, molto di ciò che questi splendidi animali fanno continua a rimanere un mistero. Pensate soltanto ai diversi comportamenti che possiamo osservare in una qualsiasi area cani: certo, sappiamo cosa significa quando scodinzolano, ma ignoriamo, per esempio, perché annusino e si rotolino su cose dall'odore francamente nauseabondo o perché alcuni siano timidi e altri audaci. Insomma, non sempre siamo in grado di comprendere che cosa passa nelle loro teste e nei loro cuori. Il libro di Marc Bekoff risponde a questi e a molti altri interrogativi. Le sue pagine non solo ci spiegano il comportamento dei nostri amici a quattro zampe, ma ci insegnano anche come migliorare la qualità delle loro vite. Partendo dagli studi più recenti sulle capacità cognitive ed emotive dei cani, Bekoff offre un'incredibile quantità di informazioni pratiche, sfatando allo stesso tempo molti dei miti più diffusi. Impariamo così, per esempio, che non sempre fanno pipì per marcare il territorio, così come non sempre mangiano erba per vomitare, o quanto sia discutibile il concetto di dominanza applicato a questi animali. Sicuramente, ci sono molte cose che ancora ignoriamo di loro, ma è certo che i cani hanno una profonda vita emotiva e che, come loro compagni umani, abbiamo il dovere di rendere le loro esistenze il più possibile ricche e soddisfacenti. È anche chiaro che ogni cane è un individuo e quindi si deve evitare di parlare del cane in generale, come se fossero tutti uguali. Bekoff sottolinea l'importanza di conoscere a fondo il com

Bekoff Marc; Pierce Jessica Title : Qualcuno lo chiama benessere. Contro i falsi miti della felicità animale
Author: Bekoff Marc; Pierce Jessica
Publisher: Sonda

Sempre più spesso sentiamo parlare di «benessere animale», ma cosa significa davvero? Niente, perché è un'espressione sterile, buona solo per le campagne marketing di chi sfrutta gli animali, dalle aziende alimentari agli zoo, passando per la ricerca scientifica. "Qualcuno lo chiama benessere" ci mostra come sviluppare un nuovo rapporto con gli animali, fondato sul rispetto dei loro bisogni e della loro natura, per transitare dall'Antropocene alla rivoluzionaria età del Compassiocene.

Bekoff Marc Title : Dalla parte degli animali. Etologia della mente e del cuore
Author: Bekoff Marc
Publisher: Ricca

L'autore svela senza reticenze gli aspetti più sfuggenti della vita animale, come l'intelligenza, le emozioni, la capacità di soffrire. Legando i dati sperimentali agli aneddoti, Marc Bekoff sottolinea il punto di vista di molti animali diversi: dal proprio cane, compagno di vita e assistente sul campo, ai pinguini di Adelia, studiati in Antartide, ai coyote, di cui analizza l'affascinante comportamento sociale. Ci costringe a riflettere sulla liceità della nostra intromissione nel mondo degli animali, verso i quali abbiamo il dovere della responsabilità e della compassione, perché il nostro unico pianeta possa essere un luogo migliore per ogni forma di vita. Prefazione di Jane Goodall.

Tenzin-Dolma Lisa, Bekoff Marc (FRW) Title : Charlie
Author: Tenzin-Dolma Lisa, Bekoff Marc (FRW)
Publisher: Hubble & Hattie

One cold February night, a terrified feral dog was carried into the author's home, and began a very different life to everything he had previously known. This is the true story of the extraordinary bond that developed between Lisa and Charlie, a one-eyed Romanian feral dog, who had lived wild until he was captured and sent to the UK to be homed. Unused to the presence of people, Charlie had no coping skills other than to follow his instincts. Although Lisa had worked with many deeply troubled dogs, the challenges posed by Charlie's background were unique. Wild, fearful and highly reactive, more wolf than dog, Charlie needed a great deal of understanding, patience and compassion in order to help him adjust to his new life.

Despite numerous obstacles and setbacks, the developing relationship between Charlie and Lisa, and Lisa's daughter, Amber, and resident dog, Skye, transformed all of their lives. Charlie's gradual shift from fearful feral to happy, affectionate, fun-loving family dog is touching and heart-warming, and clearly demonstrates the transformative power of love and kindness.

Bekoff Marc; Pierce Jessica Title : L'intelligenza morale degli animali
Author: Bekoff Marc; Pierce Jessica
Publisher: Baldini + Castoldi

Gli etologi hanno a lungo biasimato le interpretazioni del comportamento animale in termini di emozioni umane, avvertendo che l'antropomorfizzazione limita la nostra capacità di comprendere gli animali nella loro vera natura. Cosa dobbiamo pensare, però, di fronte a una femmina di gorilla che piange per giorni la morte del suo piccolo? O di una femmina di elefante che si prende cura di un'altra più giovane, dopo che questa è stata ferita da un maschio violento? Non sono questi chiari esempi del fatto che gli animali possiedono emozioni riconoscibili e un'intelligenza morale? Marc Bekoff e Jessica Pierce rispondono inequivocabilmente: sì! Unendo anni di ricerche etologiche e cognitive ad aneddoti insoliti e commoventi, i due autori dimostrano che gli animali hanno un ampio repertorio di "azioni morali" che rivelano senso di giustizia, empatia, fiducia e altruismo reciproco. Alla base di questi comportamenti c'è una complessa e modulata gamma di emozioni, sostenuta da un alto grado di intelligenza e da una sorprendente flessibilità comportamentale. La conclusione a suo modo rivoluzionaria a cui approdano Bekoff e Pierce è che non esiste alcuno scarto morale tra gli esseri umani e le altre specie: la moralità è un tratto evolutivo che noi indiscutibilmente condividiamo con gli altri mammiferi sociali.

Bekoff Marc, Louv Richard (FRW) Title : Rewilding Our Hearts
Author: Bekoff Marc, Louv Richard (FRW)
Publisher: New World Library

In wildlife conservation work, rewilding ? to make wild once again ? refers to the creation of corridors between preserved lands that allow declining populations to rebound. Marc Bekoff, one of our most engaging animal experts and activists, here applies the concept to human attitudes. He argues that unless we rewild ourselves, becoming profoundly reconnected to nature and fundamentally shifting our consciousness, our conservation efforts will have but limited impact. Bekoff shows that when we make the effort to not just see, but to empathetically become ?the seen,” our perspective on animals and their habitats changes in profound ways. As we shift to acting from the inside out, our efforts move beyond simply reacting to current crises and become powerfully proactive. Ultimately, Rewilding Our Hearts invites readers to become re-enchanted with our world, and by dissolving false boundaries, to truly connect with both nature and ourselves.

Bekoff Marc; Massaro G. (cur.) Title : La vita emozionale degli animali
Author: Bekoff Marc; Massaro G. (cur.)
Publisher: Haqihana

Sulla base di numerosi anni di studio dei modelli di comunicazione animale, in questo libro lo scienziato Marc Bekoff si focalizza sulla vita emotiva degli animali. I numerosi studi riportati dimostrano la ricchezza delle emozioni in una vastità di specie. Le emozioni animali non solo ci danno lezioni su amore empatia e compassione, ma ci impongono di rivedere radicalmente il nostro modo di interagire con il mondo animale, sfruttato e dominato dall'uomo per millenni. Bekoff ci presenta una sapiente miscela di gioia, empatia, afflizione, imbarazzo, rabbia e amore espresse dagli animali e riporta i risultati delle più recenti ricerche scientifiche che ne confermano l'esistenza, del resto già evidente a chi ha quotidianamente a che fare con gli animali. L'autore esplora anche l'aspetto evolutivo delle emozioni ed porta all'attenzione del lettore le nuove scoperte sulle strutture cerebrali deputate all'elaborazione delle emozioni, condivise dall'uomo e dagli altri animali, e mette in evidenza il ruolo di tali strutture nello stabilire una continuità evolutiva tra le specie.

Bekoff Marc Title : Why Dogs Hump and Bees Get Depressed
Author: Bekoff Marc
Publisher: New World Library

In 2009, Marc Bekoff was asked to write on animal emotions for Psychology Today. Some 500 popular, jargon-free essays later, the field of anthrozoology, the study of human-animal interactions, has grown exponentially, as have the data showing how smart and emotional nonhuman animals are. Here Bekoff updates selected essays that showcase animal cognitive abilities as well as empathy, grief, humor, and love. Humpback whales protect gray whales from orca attacks, combat dogs suffer from PTSD, and bees reveal thrill-seeking tendencies. While the science prompts questions about biomedical research and industrial agriculture, Bekoff’s handling of it offers what Good Morning America veterinarian Dr. Marty Becker calls an ?ethical compass” and reminds us that, as His Holiness the Dalai Lama put it in writing about Bekoff’s work, ?the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well being becomes.”

Author: Corbey Raymond (EDT), Lanjouw Annette (EDT), Andrews Kristin (CON), Bakels Jet (CON), Bekoff Marc (CON)
Publisher: Cambridge Univ Pr

"The assumption that humans are cognitively and morally superior to other animals is fundamental to social democracies and legal systems worldwide. It legitimises treating members of other animal species as inferior to humans. The last few decades have seen a growing awareness of this issue, as evidence continues to show that individuals of many other species have rich mental, emotional and social lives. Bringing together leading experts from a range of disciplines, this volume identifies the key barriers to a definition of moral respect that includes nonhuman animals. It sets out to increase concern, empathy and inclusiveness by developing strategies that can be used to protect other animals from exploitation in the wild and from suffering in captivity.The chapters link scientific data with normative and philosophical reflections, offering unique insight into controversial issues around the ethical, political and legal status of other species"--

Author: Robinson Jill, Bekoff Marc, Frankenhuyzen Gijsbert Van (ILT)
Publisher: Sleeping Bear Pr

For years Jasper, a moon bear, lived a miserable existence, held captive in a cage by bear farmers in rural China. The farmers extracted the bile from Jasper's body and sold it to be used in traditional medicines. It's a horrific practice and conducted on thousands of moon bears each year. But now Jasper has the chance to be free and live a life away from pain and torture. In 2000, Animals Asia, an animal welfare organization, rescued Jasper and other captive moon bears, taking them to its Moon Bear Rescue Centre. Here veterinarians attended to the bears' wounds, hoping to give them some chance of a peaceful existence in the animal sanctuary. But after so many years of abuse Jasper's wounds, both physical and mental, are extensive. Can Jasper mend his body and mind and finally enjoy the life he was meant to live?

Author: Esbjorn-hargens Sean, Zimmerman Michael E., Hochachka Gail (CON), Tissot Brian N. (CON), Riddell Darcy (CON), Bekoff Marc (FRW)
Publisher: Shambhala Pubns

Today there is a bewildering diversity of views on ecology and the natural environment. With more than two hundred distinct and valuable perspectives on the natural world—and with scientists, economists, ethicists, activists, philosophers, and others often taking completely different stances on the issues—how can we come to agreement to solve our toughest environmental problems?

In response to this pressing need, Integral Ecology unites valuable insights from multiple perspectives into a comprehensive theoretical framework—one that can be put to use right now. The framework is based on Integral Theory, as well as Ken Wilber's AQAL model, and is the result of over a decade of research exploring the myriad perspectives on ecology available to us today and their respective methodologies.


Dozens of real-life applications and examples of this framework currently in use are examined, including three in-depth case studies: work with marine fisheries in Hawai'i, strategies of eco-activists to protect Canada's Great Bear Rainforest, and a study of community development in El Salvador. In addition, eighteen personal practices of transformation are provided for you to increase your own integral ecological awareness. Integral Ecology provides the most sophisticated application and extension of Integral Theory available today, and as such it serves as a template for any truly integral effort.

Bekoff Marc, Pierce Jessica Title : Wild Justice
Author: Bekoff Marc, Pierce Jessica
Publisher: Univ of Chicago Pr

Scientists have long counseled against interpreting animal behavior in terms of human emotions, warning that such anthropomorphizing limits our ability to understand animals as they really are. Yet what are we to make of a female gorilla in a German zoo who spent days mourning the death of her baby? Or a wild female elephant who cared for a younger one after she was injured by a rambunctious teenage male? Or a rat who refused to push a lever for food when he saw that doing so caused another rat to be shocked? Aren't these clear signs that animals have recognizable emotions and moral intelligence? With Wild Justice Marc Bekoff and Jessica Pierce unequivocally answer yes.

Marrying years of behavioral and cognitive research with compelling and moving anecdotes, Bekoff and Pierce reveal that animals exhibit a broad repertoire of moral behaviors, including fairness, empathy, trust, and reciprocity. Underlying these behaviors is a complex and nuanced range of emotions, backed by a high degree of intelligence and surprising behavioral flexibility. Animals, in short, are incredibly adept social beings, relying on rules of conduct to navigate intricate social networks that are essential to their survival. Ultimately, Bekoff and Pierce draw the astonishing conclusion that there is no moral gap between humans and other species: morality is an evolved trait that we unquestionably share with other social mammals.

Sure to be controversial, Wild Justice offers not just cutting-edge science, but a provocative call to rethink our relationship with—and our responsibilities toward—our fellow animals.

Bekoff Marc Title : The Animal Manifesto
Author: Bekoff Marc
Publisher: New World Library

For too long people have believed there is no middle ground between being vegans who swear off all animal products and being unthinking carnivores. No more, says author Marc Bekoff, the leading expert on animal emotions. In The Animal Manifesto he shows that improving our treatment of animals is a matter of rethinking our many small daily decisions. Demonstrating that animals have a rich range of emotions, and outlining our pressing environmental realities, he offers ten compelling reasons for changing the way we treat animals — those we raise for food, those we use in labs, those that are wild and endangered. The result is an inspirational, informative guide for all who care about life in its many forms.
