From Booklist
Williams' premise is simple: if it is true that animals can sense emotions--fear, for example--in humans, then why isn't the inverse also possible? She calls this concept "intuitive communication," describing it as the innate ability humans have to telepathically communicate with animals and other sentient beings throughout nature, including trees and insects. Realizing that such a notion will invariably be met with extreme skepticism, Williams presents a trove of anecdotal evidence collected from people throughout the world who have gained genuine insight into animal behavior. Indeed, it is this acceptance of initial aversion to her hypothesis that is Williams' greatest strength, for she takes pains to frankly and methodically present compelling evidence to support her claims. Working with everything from cats and dogs to bears and snakes, Williams explains how such communication works and outlines basic techniques. A passionate advocate for an unorthodox but potentially significant field of inquiry, Williams cogently demonstrates how intuitive communication may greatly affect environmental awareness.

Product Description
Animals and nature can act as teachers and guides, send warnings of impending danger, or simply make life more joyous. More profoundly, intuitive bonds with the natural world can foster life-altering changes and spiritual redirection. Beyond Words describes what people experience when they connect intuitively with animals and nature. In her first book, Learning Their Language, Marta Williams taught readers how to make this connection; here she explores how life changes once they do. Williams describes a photographer who is healed by dolphins in the waters off Hawaii, how a rottweiler helps her female companion seek the assistance she needs, and how young Neil and his horse Feste together learned about life, death, and loyalty. Easy-to-follow exercises and practices help readers experience these same types of communication.
