In light of the recent flurry of articles on conciousness (of computers,
toasters, Endomoeba histolitica...), some readers may be interested in a
recent book: "Animal Thinking", by Donald Griffin.  I've just started reading
it, so I can't say much; but the author is an ethologist (=student of animal
behavior), and his contention is that many animals *are* concious.
