Dear Bob, The main author of the book "When Elephants Weep...the Emotional Lives of Animals" is Jeffrey Mason. Unfortunately, I cannot remember who on the fml recommended the book, I threw my printout away, although I know it has to be one of three subscribers because they are the ones that respond to the majority of my questions. Anyway, she knows who she is and I just want to thank her again! I like the writing style, a little sarcastic, and I love what the book aims to accomplish. God Bless and Love to All, Irena [Posted in FML issue 1507]
