Your cat is watching you right now. It knows your schedule, your footsteps, your moods. And you have no reliable way to know what it knows. For centuries, we have tried to communicate with animals by asking the wrong question: what are they thinking? In this bold, rigorous, and deeply original book, Boris Kriger argues that this question is not merely unanswerable—it is incoherent. The interior of any complex system, from a cat to a human brain to an AI chatbot, is permanently inaccessible. But the exterior—behavior—is observable, predictable, and measurable.

When Speaker Newt Gingrich greeted Dr. David Lewis in his office overlooking the National Mall, he looked at Dr. Lewis and said: "You know you’re going to be fired for this, don’t you?"

Birdsong in a Time of Silence is the story of a man rediscovering his passion for birdsong and nature. Narrated against the backdrop of the current pandemic, the book opens by acknowledging the new awareness of birds and birdsong that was made possible by the coincidence of spring and the experience of lockdown. Starting with a portrait of the blackbird - most prominent and articulate of the early spring singers - the book proceeds through 10 chapters to explore how birds sing, the variety of singing birds and more.

The experience of being in nature alone is here set within the context of a series of walks that Neil Ansell takes into the most remote parts of Britain, the rough bounds in the Scottish Highlands. He illustrates the impact of being alone as part of nature rather than outside it. As a counterpoint, Neil Ansell also writes of the changes in the landscape and how his hearing loss affects his relationship with nature as the calls of the birds he knows so well become silent to him.
