Includes bibliographical endnotes (pages 251-262) and index."Through vivid stories of devoted pigs, two-timing magpies, and scheming roosters, The Inner Life of Animals weaves the latest scientific research into how animals interact with the world with Peter Wohlleben's personal experiences in forests and fields. Horses feel shame, deer grieve, and goats discipline their kids. Ravens call their friends by name, rats regret bad choices, and butterflies choose the very best places for their children to grow up. In this, his latest book, Peter Wohlleben follows the hugely successful The Hidden Life of Trees with insightful stories into the emotions, feelings, and intelligence of animals around us. Animals are different from us in ways that amaze us-and they are also much closer to us than we ever would have thought."--Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Animal behavior.; Animals; Emotions in animals.;

- The unworthy / by Jacobsen, Roy,1954-author.; translation of:Jacobsen, Roy,1954-Uverdige.English.; Bartlett, Don,translator.; Shaw, Don,translator.;
"They're a gang without a name-Olav, Carl, Roar, Jan and Vidar-teenage boys growing up in a working-class area of Oslo under the shadow of Nazi occupation. They live in poverty but earn a crust by creatively swindling their fellow citizens, falsifying documents and stealing like magpies. And they don't shy away from targeting the Enemy, either. But everything changes when Carl's father hands him a secret map and a German password, just hours before he's taken away by the Quisling police-only to return in a coffin. And when Olav's father also disappears, the gang come to see that they are caught up in something far more serious than their usual petty crimes. Taking in love, death, betrayal and tragedy, The Unworthy is the latest masterpiece from Roy Jacobsen, author of the International Booker-shortlisted The Unseen. It shines a light on a brutal aspect of the war rarely explored in fiction, and every sentence is imbued with decades of accumulated wisdom from a writer who had his own brushes with the law in his youth."--Front jacket flap.- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Novels.; World War, 1939-1945;
