With captivating writing and impeccable research, controversial psychoanalyst and New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Masson offers a remarkable look at one of the most fulfilling roles in the animal world: fatherhood. In The Emperor's Embrace, he showcases the extraordinary behavior of outstanding fathers, heroes among animals, including: 
<ul>
 <li>the emperor penguin, who incubates the eggs of his young by holding them on his feet for two months 
</li>
<li>the wolf -- and why wolves make good fathers, whereas dogs don't 
</li>
<li>the marmoset, the South American monkey that carries his babies for the first two years of their lives wherever he goes. </li>
</ul>
 Masson also examines nature's worst fathers: lions, langurs, bears -- and humans. He shows that when a father does care for his young, as does the beaver, we immediately look for a biological and not an emotional explanation. But Masson demonstrates that for these animals -- as with humans -- fatherhood is a profound, all-encompassing experience. Compelling and inspirational, The Emperor's Embrace is a book that will forever change our perceptions of parenthood and family love.
