General animal communication

Home > Books and Resources > General animal communication books

These books typically include biographical information about the author, stories from his or her communications with a variety of animals, and/or instructions and tips for increasing your own communication skills. Most animal communication books fall into this category.

(Note: I had originally had books that were predominantly instructional listed separately, but the lines between the two types of books are blurring too much to keep them separate. This page now contains all general/instructional animal communication books.)

The following list shows all of the general animal communication books that I know about. Books with , , , or icons after their titles are available for purchase in digital form from those e-book providers — clicking those links will take you to the relevant catalog pages on those sites. Eventually each of the book titles will link to a separate page that will offer basic information about the book in question, including publishing details and where you can buy it. Books that have a little red star in front of them are books I own and their pages will include my personal reviews in addition to the standard basic information. It’s an ongoing project — book pages will be linked here as they are created.

Authors are listed alphabetically by their surnames; the books are listed under each author chronologically by publication date. [List of books last updated June 11, 2013]
