This closing volume of the series is also its most personal, written largely in the first person and drawn from memory. It opens with how a life in this work began out of necessity, and follows the long road through self-taught reading, academic studies in ethology and anthrozoology, and repeated collisions with an elitist field that guards its own territory more carefully than it serves the individuals in its care.

From there the book turns to the applied ground of interspecies communication, the disciplines underlying the author's practical work and his mentoring, from applied ethology and the organization of behavior to the evolutionary roots of meaning between species, the often neglected fundamentals of signal precision, and behavior modification seen through learning theory and species-typical behavior at once. A final section gathers essays written over years of practice, several of which were once censored by social media or left unpublished.

With a free resource list, references, and reading suggestions, this book offers a demanding and necessary perspective for anyone who works alongside other species, from dog owners to experienced practitioners, whatever the species in question.
