"Meg Daley Olmert has written a fascinating, wide-ranging and easy read about the biology of the human-animal bond...In Made For Each Other, Olmert weaves together the latest science - from the archaeology and psychology to evolutionary biology and neuroscience - with engaging....[an] intriguing book.'-New Scientist 'Overall this is a well researched account that presents some intriguing explanations for the psychological malaise that seems to have accompanied our increased urbanisation.' -BBC Focus Magazine"
Kurzbeschreibung
This is the first book to uncover the deep historical and biochemical roots of our connection with animals, and theirs with us. From early infancy, all human beings are drawn to animals. "Made for Each Other" reveals both sides of this deep mutual connection and the way it has evolved since prehistoric times. Drawing on the fascinating work of scientists in many fields, from neuroscience to zoology and anthropology, as well as her own investigations, Meg Olmert shows the roots of this age-old bond, and its importance to our well-being.

Worth skimming but maybe not reading
22. Oktober 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The evidence and arguments presented in places in this book are definitely worth being aware of, but there is a great deal of rambling and repetition. The book jacket mentions the author's "lack of formal scientific training," and the book is not really the work of a scholar. It reads much like a long newspaper or magazine article that throws together data from somewhat related scientific studies. The author does not spend much time acknowledging alternative explanations for complex phenomena, and the attribution of virtually all human mental well-being to oxytocin may be overdone. Nevertheless, the book is worth looking through, especially for anyone who does not have a pet and might be considering getting one. If you don't have a pet, the information here may be sufficient to convince you to get one, and if you have one you'll find here biological data confirming what you already know about how good your pet is for your mental health.

important, fascinating and vivid
1. März 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
MADE FOR EACH OTHER is the most fascinating and important book I've read in a long time. Meg Olmert's thesis--that our natural bond with our fellow animals has a basis in our brain chemistry--explains a great deal, not only about our relationship with pets, livestock and wildlife but also about human evolution.
The book is a fun, fast read, too, studded with gems of facts: the Egyptians seem to have tamed hyenas and giraffes. Plants recognize other plants that are related to them, and refrain from competing with relatives. When foxes are bred for docility of temperament, within a few generations their markings begin to look like those of border collies. Wow!
I learned a great deal from this book, and much of it was very good news indeed: that our very biochemistry weds us, and our happiness, to the rest of animate creation.

Made for Each Other was made for us
12. Oktober 2010
Format:Kindle Edition
My wife and absolutely loved reading it and couldn't put it down. Best thing we've read since Michael Pollan's Botany of Desire! (a paradigm changing book about how plants have used US in their successful evolution). We zipped through Made for each other Sunday and Monday and were sorry at the end of it that there wasn't more to read. We tried to even read the footnotes. We're afraid we had to settle for your cover's quotes plus the acknowledgements and about the writer sections.
We found it very easy to read, enlightening, scholarly but not pedantic, believable but not full of excessive hype. We wish that more scientific theory and data were so readable. It's way better than those academic articles and scientific descriptions we usually plod through to find out what we want to know. Those articles reward us, but we wish they didn't make obfuscating the goal.
When my wife worked on Wall St, everyone tried to make financial data seem obtuse too. They like those smoke and mirror effects. It hides the very scant amount of clothes the emperor is wearing.
We love how Meg Olmert de-mystifies the mysterious!
