Does living with a pet really make people happier and healthier? What can we learn from biomedical research with mice? Who enjoyed a better quality of life - the chicken on a dinner plate or the rooster who died in a Saturday-night cockfight? Why is it wrong to eat the family dog? This title offers answers to these and other questions.

A leading neuroscientist explains the groundbreaking research into mirror neurons and gets at the very heart of what it means to be human--the creation of a bridge between self and others that is fundamental to the development of culture and society.
