    Hi Ray Recchia --

    >I have been reading a book on animal cognition by Marc Hauser of Harvard
    >called 'Wild Minds' that I think is pretty good.

    To my utter satisfaction, I had the opportunity to attend a short
    speaking engagement with Marc Hauser when this book was first published.
    (Stephen Pinker was also in the audience...;-)) Hauser's presentation was
    just as cogent as his writing, and, above all, I was impressed with his
    deep admiration and love for animals.

    I also recommend this book, for all readers.

    - Wade
