A collection of independent works on anthrozoology, animal behavior, and training, written for practitioners, students, and readers with a serious interest in our relationships with other species. Every title is written by Roberto Barata and grew out of his academic work and more than twenty years of hands-on experience in the field, bringing scientific study together with the realities of everyday practice.

This four-book series explores applied anthrozoology through on-the-ground research, contemporary debates, and practical application. Each volume stands on its own while building toward a coherent study of human-animal relationships and their real implications for behavior, training, welfare, and ethics. Written to prompt deeper reflection, the series brings together practical models, essay-style chapters, and a compilation of the author’s writing, some of it censored on social media, alongside a new section of recommended readings, free resources, and alternative perspectives.
Merging scientific rigor with critical analysis, the author connects anthrozoology, ethology, philosophy of science, and behavioral science through more than twenty years of practical work with other species and their human families, laying a solid foundation while offering fresh perspectives on interspecies communication. What sets the series apart is its willingness to question the status quo. It serves as an indispensable resource for dog owners, researchers, practitioners, and anyone fascinated by a pragmatic and critical view of these subjects.
