Temple Grandin's "Animals in Translation" speaks in the clear voice of a woman who emerged from the other side of autism, bringing with her an extraordinary message about how animals think and feel.Temple's professional training as an animal scientist and her history as a person with autism have given her a perspective like that of no other expert in the field. Standing at the intersection of autism and animals, she offers unparalleled observations and groundbreaking ideas about both.Autistic people can often think the way animals think -- in fact, Grandin and co-author Catherine Johnson see autism as a kind of way station on the road from animals to humans -- putting autistic people in the perfect position to translate "animal talk." Temple is a faithful guide into their world, exploring animal pain, fear, aggression, love, friendship, communication, learning, and, yes, even animal genius. Not only are animals much smarter than anyone ever imagined, in some cases animals are out-and-out brilliant.The sweep of "Animals in Translation" is immense, merging an animal scientist's thirty years of study with her keen perceptions as a person with autism -- Temple sees what others cannot.Among its provocative ideas, the book: LIargues that language is not a requirement for consciousness -- and that animals do have consciousness LIapplies the autism theory of "hyper-specificity" to animals, showing that animals and autistic people are so sensitive to detail that they "can't see the forest for the trees" -- a talent as well as a "deficit" LIexplores the "interpreter" in the normal human brain that filters out detail, leaving people blind to much of the reality that surrounds them -- a reality animals and autistic people see, sometimes all too clearly LIexplains how animals have "superhuman" skills: animals have animal genius LIcompares animals to autistic savants, declaring that animals may in fact be autistic savants, with special forms of genius that normal people do not possess and sometimes cannot even see LIexamines how humans and animals use their emotions to think, to decide, and even to predict the future LIreveals the remarkable abilities of handicapped people and animals LImaintains that the single worst thing you can do to an animal is to make it feel afraid/ULTemple 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 in her bones.
人类是一个自大的种族。 自两百万年以前走出非洲大陆,人类拓展了疆域,创造了工具,改变了生态环境,毁灭了许多物种,也驯化了许多物种。被驯化的它们一直陪伴在我们身边。它们是马,是牛,是动力;是猫,是狗,是伙伴;是鸡,是鸭,是食物。它们是我们周围不说话的动物。 分...
评分兽医也好,畜牧工作者也好,或者宠物主人,都会烦恼动物到底在想什么。什么引起了动物的犹豫不前?什么事能让动物开心?为什么有的动物这么有攻击性?…… 对以上的问题,这本书里都有解答。这本书就是《我们为什么不说话》,一本以自闭症患者的视角来描写动物行为的书。 这本...
评分聆听它们,就是聆听我们自己 【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,...
评分Temple Gradin以自身经验和研究,说明自闭症患者的图像思维方式和非人动物相近。在Sax的《火星上的人类学家》一书中,那位"无法理解人类,却对其他动物感同身受的"火星上的人类学家"指的就是他。有的人认为,"人道屠宰"或"动物福利"科学,仍是人类中心主义宰制动物的一种变相方...
