In a world that is becoming increasingly aware of the importance and diversity of life on our planet, animal psychology has a key role to play. Covering a wide range of topics in animal psychology, this book offers readers a comprehensive and fascinating introduction to a field that is of great importance both for scientific research and for everyday interaction with animals. From the historical development of animal psychology to the cognitive abilities, social behaviour, emotions and personality of animals, to the practical applications in conservation, pet ownership and ethical considerations, this book offers a deep insight into the behaviour and psyche of animals. It shows how far-reaching our understanding of the animal mind has grown in recent years and how this knowledge has changed the way we treat animals on an individual, social and legal level. The book places particular emphasis on highlighting the parallels and differences between human and animal psychology, offering insights not only into the behaviour and needs of our animal companions, but also into the evolutionary roots of our own behaviour and thinking. This work is aimed at anyone interested in animals and their well-being - whether in the professional context of animal care, nature conservation and research or as pet owners and nature lovers.
