“Animals in Translation” is a groundbreaking exploration into the minds of animals, a culmination of Temple Grandin’s life’s work, drawing upon the latest research, her distinguished career as an animal scientist, and her unique perspective as an autistic individual.

Co-authored with Catherine Johnson, Grandin proposes a revolutionary idea: that while ‘normal people’ process the world through words and abstractions, animals and autistic individuals perceive the world as sensory information – specific pictures, sights, and sounds. This fundamental difference is the key to understanding how animals see, think, and feel.

More than just a book about animals, “Animals in Translation” offers profound insights into the autistic experience, exploring universal emotions like pain, fear, aggression, love, friendship, communication, and learning. Prepare to have your perceptions challenged and your understanding of animals forever transformed.
