When the opossum feels threatened, she becomes paralyzed. Her body temperature plummets, her breathing and heart rates drop to a minimum, and her glands simulate the smell of a putrefying corpse. Playing Possum explores what the opossum and other creatures can teach us about how we and other species understand mortality, and demonstrates that the concept of death, far from being a uniquely human attribute, is widespread in the animal kingdom.

Interesting field of study / engaging performance
Revisado: 12-07-24
The narrator gets a bad rap in the review—she’s actually really great! Science books can be hard to follow with monotone readers. This worked really well to keep me engaged. I wonder how much of the criticism of the reader has some veiled misogyny.
Author presents an interesting and relatively new field of study while expanding implications and evidence. Interesting!
