Summary

"Anyone who has ever mourned the loss of a cherished pet has wondered about the animal soul. Do animals survive the death of the body, or are they doomed to disappear completely when they leave this world behind? Both scientists and religious authorities have long scoffed at the idea of animals in heaven. Yet the question endures. In this wise, immensely readable book, Ptolemy Thompkins embarks on a quest for the answer--taking us on a top-speed tour of the history of the animal soul" --Cover, p. 2
