- Reading
- Try one chapter or species at a time, pausing at the fact boxes to unpack unfamiliar concepts. Invite your reader to compare examples and explain what each suggests about learning or problem-solving.
- Themes
- A fact-led exploration of intelligence: Chapters consider a range of invertebrates and give examples of learning, memory and problem-solving, alongside explanations of scientific concepts. The book presents these examples as information for readers to assess what intelligence can mean beyond familiar vertebrate examples.
- Worth knowing
- Its fact-dense exposition may take more effort than a continuous narrative.
