A New York Times Notable Book of 2020 ‘Bracing and enlightening’ Science Culture is something exclusive to human beings, isn’t it? Not so, says intrepid researcher Carl Safina. Becoming Wild reveals the rich cultures that survive in some of Earth’s remaining wild places. By showing how sperm whales, scarlet macaws and chimpanzees teach and learn, Safina offers a fresh understanding of what is constantly going on beyond humanity, and how we’re all connected. ‘Becoming Wild demands that we wake up’ Telegraph

We tend to think of culture as being exclusively human, but do animals have it too?
‘[A] bracing and enlightening book… Safina’s writing on the watery depths and its denizens is sublime… [challenging] us to be more acutely aware of species whose social lives have much to teach us.’

"Safina’s previous book, Beyond Words, was a New York Times bestseller, compared in the New York Review of Books to ‘Darwin’s Origin and Richard Dawkins’s Selfish Gene’ as marking ‘a major milestone in our evolving understanding of our place in nature’ A perennially popular topic: in the last three years De Waal’s Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? has sold almost 10k and Ackerman’s The Genius of Birds over 20k, and Wohlleben’s The Inner Life of Animals over 16k (all UK Nielsen) Safina has won numerous awards for his writing, including the Orion, Lannan, and National Academies literary awards, and the John Burroughs, James Beard and George Rabb medals"
