First week in paperback for Meet the Neighbors: Animal Minds and Life in a More-Than-Human World. Seems like the kind of book that would be reviewed in majors (NYT, WSJ, WP) but I did locate reviews from Scientific American and The Portland Press Herald. Jacket update not needed for the paperback - it popped! From Kirkus: "Although his polemic is well supported by scientific and scholarly references, his earnest plea is firmly rooted in a layperson's language; this is a consideration of animals, wild and domestic, as our fellows, not our property."
