When Elephants Weep: Emotional Lives of Animals
Author(s): Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson
Arguments that animals possess an emotional life are often dismissed as sentimental anthropomorphism. This book challenges that notion by proposing that the objective scientific evidence for human emotions is all but non-existent.
