Elizabeth Marshall Thomas

One of the most widely-read American anthropologists, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas has observed dogs, cats, and elephants during her half-century-long career. In the 1980s Thomas studied elephants alongside Katy Payne -- the scientist who discovered elephants’ communication via infrasound. In 1993 Thomas wrote The Hidden Life of Dogs, a groundbreaking work of animal psychology that spent nearly a year on the New York Times bestseller list. Her book on cats, Tribe of Tiger, was also an international bestseller. She lives in Peterborough, New Hampshire, on her family’s former farm, where she observes deer, bobcats, bear, and many other species of flora and fauna.

Quotes

"In this slim and amiable book Ms. Thomas gathers a pile of small, not uninteresting observations about deer, and in doing so she subtly alters the way you look at them in a forest or from a window."


- New York Times
"Elizabeth Marshall Thomas has written a compelling description of the lives of deer (and turkeys, bears, and other species with which she shares her farm). The relationship of these animals to their world teaches us the lessons of the Old Way, lessons we often forget amid the stresses of modern society."


- Dr. Irene Pepperberg, author of Alex & Me
Praise for The Hidden LIfe of Deer:
 
“With keen eye and rich heart, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas is once again a unique and invaluable guide to our animal neighbors and their world, which is, of course, our world, too. In this joyous book, brimming with fascinations, every page is a rare delight.”


- Diane Ackerman, author of The Zookeeper’s Wife and A Natural History of the Senses
“Elizabeth Marshall Thomas has been called America’s best interpreter of animals, and here she is at the height of her powers. The Hidden Life of Deer is a remarkable achievement: It reveals your nearest woodlot as a scene of great mystery, intrigue, danger, drama, and passion.”


- Sy Montgomery, author of The Good Good Pig
