About this product
Product Information
"An enchanting book--please read." --Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE; Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace In this touching memoir about the relationship between father, daughter, and animals, Carole explores life after adopting thirteen pet Karakul lambs. Throughout her years with the lambs and her aging father, she comes to realize the distinct personality of each creature, and to understand more fully the almost spiritual bond between man and animals. This is a beautiful book in every way that will touch the hearts of readers everywhere. "In her new book, The Lambs , Carole George shares the fulfillment she has experienced over years tending a flock of sheep. I hope that this book will inspire readers to become more compassionate toward the living beings deprived of the many privileges we humans enjoy." --His Holiness The Dalai Lama " The Lambs is beautifully written, and right on target as an example of the natural--pastoral--world where we may achieve the fullness of human experience. Our descendants may gravitate toward the equivalent of Carole's] Virginia farm." --Edward O. Wilson, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University

Reviews
"Just as our own lives matter to us, the life of each individual creature is important to it. We share the same experience of pain and pleasure. As we assume the concerns of others, either in practice or in thought, compassion will flourish within us. In her new book, The Lambs , Carole George shares the fulfillment she has experienced over years tending a flock of sheep. If we lack affection for other creatures, our intellectual superiority becomes meaningless and can even be detrimental. I hope that this book will inspire readers to become more compassionate toward the living beings deprived of the many privileges we humans enjoy."--His Holiness The Dalai Lama "This is a thoughtful document that dispels any assumptions that sheep are "just dumb farm animals" who do nothing but follow. The Lambs is an enchanting book. We all know young lambs frolic in the spring fields: Now we learn about the fascinating social life of their elders. Please read this book."--Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace "Smart, emotional, inquisitive, curious, playful, and loving, these wonderful [lambs], and Carole George's stories about her life with them, will at once educate, inspire, and surprise you."--Marc Bekoff, Professor Emeritus of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder " The Lambs is beautifully written, and right on target as an example of the natural--pastoral--world where we may achieve the fullness of human experience. When, in the 22nd century perhaps, we've settled down as a species and reached sustainability and much fuller self-knowledge, our descendants may have gravitated toward the equivalent of [Carole's] Virginia farm."--Edward O. Wilson, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University "We grant cats and dogs personalities and emotional lives, and do the same for charismatic animals such as apes and elephants, while conveniently leaving farm animals out of the picture. After reading Carole George's warm and charming account of her life with a small flock of Karakuls, you will never again look at sheep as an undifferentiated mass."--Frans B. M. de Waal, Ph. D., author of Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?
