Afternoon Book Group: The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration Into the Wonder of Consciousness In-Person
Scientists have only recently accepted the intelligence of dogs, birds, and chimpanzees but now are watching octopuses solve problems and are trying to decipher the meaning of the animal’s color-changing techniques. With her “joyful passion for these intelligent and fascinating creatures” (Library Journal Editors’ Spring Pick), author Sy Montgomery chronicles the growing appreciation of this mollusk in her book The Soul of an Octopus, as she tells a unique love story. By turns funny, entertaining, touching, and profound, The Soul of an Octopus reveals what octopuses can teach us about the meeting of two very different minds.
