Animal Minds: Beyond Cognition to Consciousness by Donald R. Griffin, ISBN 0226308650
Using examples from chimpanzees and dolphins to birds and honeybees, Griffin demonstrates how communication among animals can serve as a "window" into what animals think and feel, just as human speech and nonverbal communication tell us most of what we know about the thoughts and feelings of other people.

La Nature: Notes, Cours Du College de France by Maurice Merleau-Ponty, ISBN 0810114461
Collected here are the written traces of courses on the concept of nature given by Maurice Merleau-Ponty at the College de France in the 1950s -- notes that provide a window on the thinking of one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. In two courses distilled by a student and in a third composed of Merleau-Ponty's own notes, the ideas that animated the philosopher's lectures and that informed his later publications emerge in an early, fluid form in the process of being elaborated, negotiated, critiqued, and reconsidered.
Merleau-Ponty's project in these courses is an interrogation of nature, a task at the center of his investigation of perception, truth, and subjectivity. The first course, a survey of the historical elements in our concept of nature, examines first the Cartesian concept of nature and then historical and contemporary responses to Descartes, all with an eye toward developing a vision of nature more consistent with the findings of contemporary science.
