“You be good. I love you,” were Alex’s final words to his owner, research scientist Irene Pepperberg, before his premature death at age thirty-one on September 6, 2007. An African Grey parrot, Alex had a brain the size of a shelled walnut, yet he could add, sound out words, understand concepts like bigger, smaller, more, fewer, and none, and he disproved the widely accepted idea that birds possess no potential for language or anything remotely comparable to human intelligence. Alex & Me is the remarkable true account of an amazing, irascible parrot and his best friend who stayed together through thick and thin for thirty years—the astonishing, moving, and unforgettable story of a landmark scientific achievement and a beautiful relationship.

Co-edited by Dr. Pepperberg, Animal Cognition in Nature investigates the knowingness of animals and how they relate to the world around them. The smug human assumption–that animals in the wild possess only a robotic response to stimuli or animals in controlled studies learn only from a particular set of conditioning programs–is blown away by this collection of research articles. By gathering together scientists from different disciplines, this book creates a common arena–one that offers a greater understanding of complex animal behavior, unexpected ideas, and new realizations.Animal Cognitionin Nature is a pure joy for those interested in the serious study of the true reality of animals.
