How is Animals in Translation different from every other animal book ever published?Animals in Translation is like no other animal book because of Temple Grandin. As an animal scientist and a person with autism, her professional training and personal history have created a perspective like no other thinker in the field, and this is her exciting, groundbreaking view of the intersection of autism and animal. Unlike other well-known writers in the field of animal behavior -- When Elephants Weep by psychoanalyst Jeffrey Moussaleff Masson, How Dogs Think by psychologist and dog trainer Stanley Coren, and The Hidden Life of Dogs by anthropologist Elizabeth Marsha Thomas -- Temple Grandin is an animal scientist who has devoted the last 30 years of her life to the study of animals. Animals in Translation is the culmination of that life's work -- a book whose sweep is huge, including just about anything that gallops, trots, slithers, walks, or flies. Temple Grandin is like no other author on the subject of animals because of her training and because of her autism; understanding animals is in her blood and her bones.

我觉得,通篇这本书就是一个问题,除了我们自以为正常的方式,是否还存在其它方式感知这个世界。 如果我没有搞错,这本书是一个自闭症者写的,再经一个自闭症者或深入体验自闭症的人文字润色。大概因此,行文有着有点特殊的逻辑、节奏和直截了当。很让我觉得尴尬的是,作者是个...

評分各位看完本书后,如果对作者格兰丁感兴趣,可以看看《火星上的人类学家》这本书。(新浪爱问上有TXT下载)书的第一章就是写她的,篇幅不长,可以看做是一篇小传吧。书里从一个心理学家的角度描述了她--一个自闭症患者和正常人是多么的不同。 在常人眼里格兰丁举止怪异...
評分【读品】罗豫/文 童话世界里,能听懂动物语言的,多是天赋异禀之人。小说和电影中,不时也有拉风的动物当配角,它们和人灵犀相同,关键时刻还能舍己救人。但在动物学家眼里,这些大都是人类一厢情愿的文学叙事。对于那些喜欢动物,或者在工作中要和动物接触的人而言,一本真正...
評分偶然在图书馆注意到这本书,是因为看了部有关本书作者的电影——《自闭历程》。而之所以,会再次关注,很大成分上,自己也算半个自闭症患者。从喜欢村上的文学,到了解什么是“亚斯伯格症候群”,以及自闭者的表现,让我从自我认识的内向转变为自闭症患者。 自闭症应该算在心...
