New York Times BestsellerThe remarkable true story of an extraordinary relationship between psychologist Irene M. Pepperberg and Alex, an African Grey parrot who proved scientists and accepted wisdom wrong by demonstrating an astonishing ability to communicate and understand complex ideas. "You be good. I love you," were Alex's final words to his owner, research scientist Irene Pepperberg, before his premature death at age thirty-one on September 6, 2007. An African Grey parrot, Alex had a brain the size of a shelled walnut, yet he could add, sound out words, understand concepts like bigger, smaller, more, fewer, and none, and he disproved the widely accepted idea that birds possess no potential for language or anything remotely comparable to human intelligence.Alex & Me is the incredible story of an amazing, irascible parrot and his best friend who stayed together through thick and thin for thirty years--the astonishing, moving, and unforgettable story of a landmark scientific achievement and a beautiful relationship.

Alex & Me is the remarkable true story of an extraordinary relationship between psychologist Irene M. Pepperberg and Alex, an African Grey parrot who proved scientists and accepted wisdom wrong by demonstrating an astonishing ability to communicate and understand complex ideas. A New York Times bestseller and selected as one of the paper's critic's Top Ten Books of the Year, Alex & Me is much more that the story of an incredible scientific breakthrough. It's a poignant love story and an affectionate remembrance of Pepperberg's irascible, unforgettable, and always surprising best friend.

Can a parrot understand complex concepts and mean what it says? Since the early 1900s, most studies on animal-human communication have focused on great apes and a few cetacean species. Birds were rarely used in similar studies on the grounds that they were merely talented mimics--that they were, after all, "birdbrains." Experiments performed primarily on pigeons in Skinner boxes demonstrated capacities inferior to those of mammals; these results were thought to reflect the capacities of all birds, despite evidence suggesting that species such as jays, crows, and parrots might be capable of more impressive cognitive feats.Twenty years ago Irene Pepperberg set out to discover whether the results of the pigeon studies necessarily meant that other birds--particularly the large-brained, highly social parrots--were incapable of mastering complex cognitive concepts and the rudiments of referential speech. Her investigation and the bird at its center--a male Grey parrot named Alex--have since become almost as well known as their primate equivalents and no less a subject of fierce debate in the field of animal cognition. This book represents the long-awaited synthesis of the studies constituting one of the landmark experiments in modern comparative psychology.

On 6 September 2007, an African Grey Parrot named Alex died prematurely at 31. His last words to his owner, Irene Pepperberg, were ‘You be good. I love you.’ Alex & Me is the remarkable true account of an extraordinary relationship between Irene and Alex — a relationship that disproved the widely accepted idea that birds possess no potential for language or anything comparable to human intelligence. In the thirty years he spent with Irene, Alex demonstrated an incredible ability to communicate and understand complex ideas. Yet this is much more than the story of a scientific breakthrough. Alex and Irene were emotionally connected: he missed her when she was away; he was jealous when she paid attention to others; and, nearly every day, they each said,‘I love you.’ Astonishing, moving, and unforgettable, Alex & Me is a powerful reminder of the bond that can exist between humans and animals.

Irene ten a los ojos del color de las arenas del desierto y el cabello negro como las noches sin luna. No tendr a m s de 16 a os cuando Allah quiso ponerla en mi camino. Conocerla supuso para un hombre curtido en la guerra, hastiado del rencor y la rabia durante d cadas, como una lluvia fresca de roc o en la madrugada. No miento si digo ante los ojos del Poderoso que de todas las figuras que este servidor de Allah ha tenido la dicha y el infortunio de cruzarse en sus muchos a os de batalla, la Dama Irene de Manrique fue sin duda alguna la m s intensa, la m s especial y la m s sorprendente de todas.A n ten a cuerpo de ni a cuando lleg hasta m . Era de escasa estatura. Una mujer, apenas mujer, pero en sus iris anidaba una fuerza que s lo habita en las almas de quienes tienen en su poder la capacidad de cambiar a las personas con las se cruzan. Su voz era dulce, como el fruto de la palmera, pero atemperada. Ten a un matiz extra o de gravedad contenida. Su juventud s lo potenciaba su firme car cter. Su aparente fragilidad s lo daba motivos para verla a n m s intensa. Ten a una capacidad para apasionarse que s lo rivalizaba con la convicci n de su alma. Un punto irresistible que equilibraba su evidente juventud con una potencia desconocida e improbable para sus a os. Apenas la tuve delante supe que me hallaba ante una mujer de las que se hace dif cil olvidar. Una mujer que herir a, que se clavar a hondo. Una mujer por la que un hombre matar a y se dejar a morir sin dudarlo. Ambas cosas sucedieron. sta es su historia. Irene: Luz y Destino es una novela seriada. Lo que vas a encontrar aqu corresponder a al equivalente de un cap tulo si habl ramos de una serie de televisi n. La intenci n de su autor es proporcionar a los lectores las claves necesarias para engancharles en la trama de sus protagonistas. Como tal no encontrar s un final cerrado en este volumen sino, en su caso, los cierres de algunas de sus l neas inmediatas. Esta serie tiene concebido su final de temporada aunque el n mero de cap tulos finales podr a verse alterado, por lo que se asegura su final. Para posibles nuevas temporadas ser imprescindible la reacci n y fidelidad de su p blico. Confiamos en que los pasajes contenidos en Irene: Luz y Destino sean lo bastante interesantes como para que tal posibilidad exista.IRENE: LUZ Y DESTINO NO es una serie hist rica ni pretende serlo. Es una ficci n rom ntica. Las alteraciones y anacronismos son conscientes y pretendidos.
