In Darwin and Facial Expression, Paul Ekman and a cast of other notable scholars and scientists reconsider the central concepts and key sources of information in Darwin's work on emotional expression. First published in 1972 to celebrate the centennial of the publication of Darwin's The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, Darwin and Facial Expression is the first of three works edited by Dr. Ekman and others on the subject. This Malor edition contains new and updated references. Darwin claimed that we cannot understand human emotional expression without understanding the emotional expressions of animals, as our emotional expressions are in large part determined by our evolution. Not only are there similarities in the appearance of some emotional expressions between man and certain other animals, but the principles that explain why a particular emotional expression occurs with a particular emotion also apply across species.

Animals were vital to the British colonization of Myanmar. In this pathbreaking history of British imperialism in Myanmar from the early nineteenth century to 1942, Jonathan Saha argues that animals were impacted and transformed by colonial subjugation. By examining the writings of Burmese nationalists and the experiences of subaltern groups, he also shows how animals were mobilized by Burmese anticolonial activists in opposition to imperial rule. In demonstrating how animals - such as elephants, crocodiles, and rats - were important actors never fully under the control of humans, Saha uncovers a history of how British colonialism transformed ecologies and fostered new relationships with animals in Myanmar. Colonizing Animals introduces the reader to an innovative historical methodology for exploring interspecies relationships in the imperial past, using innovative concepts for studying interspecies empires that draw on postcolonial theory and critical animal studies.

A New York Times Bestseller and winner of the PEN / E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award "Game-changing." —Sy Montgomery, New York Times Book Review Mama’s Last Hug is a fascinating exploration of the rich emotional lives of animals, beginning with Mama, a chimpanzee matriarch who formed a deep bond with biologist Jan van Hooff. Her story and others like it—from dogs “adopting” the injuries of their companions, to rats helping fellow rats in distress, to elephants revisiting the bones of their loved ones—show that humans are not the only species with the capacity for love, hate, fear, shame, guilt, joy, disgust, and empathy. Frans de Waal opens our hearts and minds to the many ways in which humans and other animals are connected.

Some investigators have argued that emotions, especially animal emotions, are illusory concepts outside the realm of scientific inquiry. However, with advances in neurobiology and neuroscience, researchers are demonstrating that this position is wrong as they move closer to a lasting understanding of the biology and psychology of emotion. In Affective Neuroscience, Jaak Panksepp provides the most up-to-date information about the brain-operating systems that organize the fundamental emotional tendencies of all mammals. Presenting complex material in a readable manner, the book offers a comprehensive summary of the fundamental neural sources of human and animal feelings, as well as a conceptual framework for studying emotional systems of the brain. Panksepp approaches emotions from the perspective of basic emotion theory but does not fail to address the complex issues raised by constructionist approaches. These issues include relations to human consciousness and the psychiatric implications of this knowledge. The book includes chapters on sleep and arousal, pleasure and fear systems, the sources of rage and anger, and the neural control of sexuality, as well as the more subtle emotions related to maternal care, social loss, and playfulness. Representing a synthetic integration of vast amounts of neurobehavioral knowledge, including relevant neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neurochemistry, this book will be one of the most important contributions to understanding the biology of emotions since Darwins The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals

The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals by Charles Darwin: The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals is a scientific work by Charles Darwin that examines the expression of emotions in humans and animals. Published in 1872, the book explores the evolutionary origins and universality of facial expressions, providing insights into the communication of emotions across species and shedding light on the nature of human emotions. Key Aspects of the Book "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals": Evolutionary Perspective: The book applies an evolutionary framework to the study of emotions, considering their adaptive value and tracing their origins across different species. Facial Expressions: Darwin's detailed analysis of facial expressions and their connection to specific emotions offers valuable insights into the universality and nonverbal communication of emotions. Psychology and Ethology: The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals bridges the fields of psychology and ethology, contributing to our understanding of emotions and their expression in both humans and animals. Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist, best known for his theory of evolution and his book On the Origin of Species. The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals represents Darwin's exploration of the intersection between biology, psychology, and animal behavior, highlighting his multidisciplinary approach to scientific inquiry.

Animal Expressionscombines renown wildlife photographer Judith Hamilton's images of wild animals with quotations that describe the animals' expressions. She is a graduate of the Intensive Photography Program at Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula, Montana, and has participated in the Santa Fe School of Photography and The Maine Photographic Workshop. Her work has been displayed in various venues including a six-month display of endangered animals at Google headquarters. She has two permanent exhibits of wildlife on display at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation in Palo Alto, "Mothers and Babies" and "Endangered Animals." Her book, Animals A2Zwas distributed at the Bronx Zoo and the Central Park Zoo in New York City and her images have been printed in numerous magazines and calendars. Any proceeds from the sale of her work go to Wildlife Conservation Society where she has been a trustee for 15 years. Judith has served on many private, public and not-for-profit board of directors including Wildlife Conservation Society and The National Park Foundation."
