A proposito di questo titolo
Every pet owner thinks their own dog, cat, fish or hamster is a genius. What makes Can Fish Count? so exciting is the way it unveils just how widespread intelligence is in nature.
Pioneering psychologist Brian Butterworth describes the extraordinary numerical feats of all manner of species ranging from primates and mammals to birds, reptiles, fish and insects. Whether it's lions deciding to fight or flee, frogs competing for mates, bees navigating their way to food sources, fish assessing which shoal to join or jackdaws counting friends when joining a mob - every species shares an ability to count.
Homo sapiens may think maths is our exclusive domain, but this book shows that every creature shares a deep-seated Darwinian ability to understand the intrinsic language of our universe: mathematics.
Can Fish Count? is that special sort of science book - a global authority in his field writing an anecdotally rich and revelatory narrative that changes the way you perceive something we take for granted.
