YA Few people are aware that birds communicate in dialects similar to our human regional differences or that crickets relay information by electro magnetic means. For centuries, hu mans have been intrigued by the pat terns and parallels in communication which they share with the animal world. It is only in this century that ethology has become a respected sci ence with each species having its at tending researcher. The information gleaned has provided valuable insight into human behavior. This book is based on Gerald and Lee Durrell's TV series. It is well organized and well re searched, challenging readers to view humankind from a different perspec tive. Over 200 color photographs en hance a book that YAs will use for re search or downright good reading. Anne Douglass, Houston Public Lib .
