Specifically, we need a rebuke of anthropocentrism.

For decades we've known that animals' inner lives are complex, rich, and deep, and this book makes the inarguable case that it's high time to use what we know on their behalf.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e--\u003cb\u003eMarc Bekoff\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Emotional Lives of Animals\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume explores the experiences of those with little or no power--usually, although not exclusively, animals. The theme of animals as experiencing entities is what links the chapters and characterises the volume. Broadly each author in this volume contributes in one of two ways. The first group, in Section 1, theoretically engages animal subjectivity, animal experiences, and ways in which these are to some extent accessible and knowable to humans. The second group of authors, in Section 2, offer narrative accounts about specific animals or groups of animals and explore to some extent their subjective historical experiences. In summary, the first section diversely theorises about animal experiences, while the second section's authors assume animals' subjective experiences and construct narratives that take into account how animals might have subjectively experienced historical phenomena. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e​\u003cb\u003eMichael Glover\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics and a member of the Australasian Animal Studies Association.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLes Mitchell\u003c\/b\u003e is a Research Fellow at the International Studies Group, University of the Free State.
