Our Wild Calling: How Connecting with Animals Can Transform Our Lives—and Save Theirs

A profound look into the relationships between humans and animals. Author Richard Louv interviews naturalists, psychologists, scientists, theologians, healers, and others to get a sense of the breadth of interspecies relations and how these have changed over time. Can animals provide an antidote to loneliness? Can they teach us ethical behavior? Treat mental health problems? Address our spiritual woes? Louv reports on wildlife relocation, the growing populace of wild animal species in urban areas, and the blurring of the lines between what animals we consider to be domestic or wild. And he makes the case for creating a sustainable world where humans and animals can live in harmony.
