like many other reviewers, i did not know this was a philosophy book before reading it. however (despite disliking philosophy) i enjoyed this. it was informative while broadening my view of how animals may (or may not) understand death

Some people might find this dry. It’s a philosophy book about science. But I thought the author did a good job of explaining things. Since it’s about death, it can be sad at times. But it’s a fascinating look at animal (and human) behavior. Do animals understand death? Do humans disregard any form of intelligence or emotion that doesn’t look exactly like ours?
