People and Other Animals
by Norma A. Donner

Every day more of us are realizing that humans cannot survive without the rest of the Animal Kingdom. While many species have been vanishing, it is Homo sapien who is in the greatest danger of eradication.

At one point in the past, the skies of America were often darkened by flocks of carrier pigeons. By 1914, the carrier pigeon had become extinct. Nearly the same fate befell the whooping crane, the whale, and the bison. As scientists observed the danger they were able to change the course of destiny and Bison are again roaming the range; Whooping Crane numbers are climbing too, though they remain an endangered species. And the much hunted whale is under international protection.
Norma Donner has made a lifetime study of animal (including human) behavior, encompassing those domestic animals on which we depend so much. These include cats and cows, dogs and dromedaries and same wild ones, like cougars and coyotes, deer and dolphins. This book offers an appreciation of the interdependence of all animal groups. She is convinced that the similarities far exceed the differences.
