Other Minds
The distinguished philosopher of science and scuba diver Peter Godfrey-Smith proposes a differing narrative of nature achieving self-awareness, with the octopus at its centre instead of the usual emphasis on the development of mammals. By unpacking how such a solitary creature attained such an unusual degree of intelligence, "Other Minds" casts new light on the workings of the minds of humans as well as cephalopods.

Amelie - Die Geschichte eines Hundes
Mark Twain schrieb mit "A Dog's Tale" (Die Geschichte eines Hundes) eine rührende Geschichte aus der Perspektive einer Hündin.Sie lernt viel von ihrer Hundemutter, die dadurch berühmt wird, dass sie anderen Hunden Menschenbegriffe beibringt; ihre scheinbare Bildung ist jedoch nur eine geschickte Täuschung und Wichtigtuerei. Bereits als junge Hündin, wird sie von ihrer Mutter getrennt und in eine scheinbar wundervolle und liebevolle Familie verkauft. Dort erlebt sie viel Glück und entwickelt eine herrliche Freundschaft mit der Tochter der Familie, ebenso passt sie gerne auf das einjährige Kleinkind der Familie auf.Nach einem schrecklichen Brand im Kinderzimmer und einer Züchtigung durch ihr Herrchen, weil er denkt, sie sei daran schuld, lernt sie das Labor ihres Züchtigers kennen und erfährt völlig unerwartet, was wirklich in ihrer Familie geschieht und warum sie eigentlich dort lebt.
