Comments on "Bats Sing, Mice Giggle" - The Surprising Science of Animals' Inner Lives by Karen Shanor and Jagmeet Kanwal

This book is a summary of many recent scientific researches into, among other things, the mental capacities and social behaviors of many forms of animal life. Some plant alert systems are also mentioned. A great many of these mental capacities and social behaviors are much more developed and, perhaps, conscious in some way, than was formerly believed by scientists. Perhaps as little as 30 years ago much of this book might have been considered to be nonsense.
