In ancient Egypt people worshiped cats, and in India the cow is sacred. Today in America we flock to zoos in record numbers and pamper our pets. But what do we really know about animals? And what do we feel about them in spite of it? Here Deborah Noyes embarks on a quest for understanding--struggling with science and love--attempting to distance, but also bring closer, the "other" kingdom. What results is a visionary meditation on how myth, history, and culture have influenced our view of animals and shaped our lives with them. Noyes's wide-ranging narrative and affectionate portraits raise difficult but important questions, challenging what we think we know about our animal fellows while helping us form new perceptions and realities.--From publisher description.

This book was very remarkable to me, yet it was something I can’t picture most teens running out to read. It was a nonfiction book that read as a nonfiction book. I learned a lot and parts were very interesting, but the fact is that it wasn’t quite interesting enough to become anything more than something interesting a science teacher could read parts of aloud in class.
