I am a fan of Temple Grandin and her work. If you dont know her, atleast see the movie trailer. This book Out on a Limb by Benjamin Kilham has a foreword from Grandin.
I have also read 'Smiling Bears: A Zookeeper explores the Behavior and emotional Life of Bears' by Else Poulsen and learnt about different kinds of bears and how animals too can have pets.
So taking up reading this book is building up on that interest. While Smiling Bears is about behavior of bears in confinement and 'The Man who lives with Wolves' by Shaun Ellis is the other extreme of immersing yourself in the life of wild animals.
Kilham's work involves happy medium of rehabilitating wild animals. And through that process Kilham has observed bears and found that the bears interactions and their social hierarchies are complex.
Kilham's prose of how baby bears learn from their mothers by smelling her mouth about what is edible, a mother bear giving climbing lessons to her offspring make your mind run in a high imagination mode. With his pantomime experiences, we can easily foresee a talking bear somewhere in the future.
Kilham's life like Grandin's is inspiring to channel your energies into your passion.
