'Who are they? What do we really know about them? What do our interactions with them tell us about ourselves? The contributors (some with person stories, other with challenging insights or expertise in their field) combine to make this collection a many faceted examination of the other animals and our complex relationship with them.'

Notes

Author's note: Somewhere I've read that there are 400,000 species of beetle on earth. If one of every species was lined up, how long would it take to even glance at each of them? Such numbers may make it easier to ignore the pain and the extinction we cause just in passing. Yet we are also fascinated by the animals around us. Mark Twain once quipped, Man is the only animal that blushes. Or needs to. - Finlay Lloyd
