Crow Planet: Essential Wisdom from the Urban Wilderness by Lyanda Lynn Haupt

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

3.5

I got this book hoping for a lot of stories illustrating the intelligence of crows and chronicling their interesting behaviors. There is some of that, but the author mainly uses her experiences with animals, in general, and crows, in particular, to communicate her own philosophy regarding how human animals should study and interact with other animals. This is, of course, an important subject, and I do not disagree with many of her assertions. This, however, was not what I was looking for when I picked up the book, and consequently found myself not enjoying it as much as I hoped to.
