Synopsis
Animal scientist and high-functioning autistic Temple Grandin, whose work has revolutionized how domestic animals are treated, explains how autism gives her a special insight into animals, theorizing that the perceptual and emotional structures underlying animal behavior bear a strong similarity to such structures in autistics. The book is written in a simple, direct style, as is appropriate for an author who claims that she only thinks in pictures.

Publisher's Note
The animal scientist author of Thinking in Pictures draws on her experience as an autistic to identify commonalities between animals and autistics, offering insight into how animals process sensory information and how they often possess unrecognized savant-level talents.

Industry Reviews
"Philosophers and scientists have long wondered what goes on in the minds of animals, and this fascinating study gives a wealth of illuminating insights into that mystery....[A] lively and absorbing look at the world from animals' point of view." (starred review)
Publishers Weekly (10/18/2004)

"Grandin's prose alone makes her new book, ANIMALS IN TRANSLATION, well worth a read. Fresh and irreverent, yet almost completely emotionless, the style suggests a cross between Holden Caulfield and STAR TREK's Mr. Spock--which is so much better than it sounds....[T]he book is well researched and insightful."
Atlantic Monthly - B. R. Myers (09/01/2005)
