Animal Kingdom. A Natural History in 100 Objects

History Press, 2017. Paperback. Pp: 328. From a single beginning, countless millions of stories from the animal kingdom have - and continue to - run their course.Museum objects allow us to investigate some of those stories. Animal Kingdom journeys through both the evolutionary history of animals, and the ways that people have interpreted them in museums. Animals in museums are not only representatives of their entire species, but they also tell us something about the time in which they were collected. They provide windows into the past as well as data for the present. They embody centuries of natural ecosystems and human cultures.Through a selection of 100 objects, telling 100 stories, this beautifully illustrated book explores the diversity of animal life over the past 600 million years, and delves into some of the most exciting mechanisms in evolution. By understanding some of the key stories of how nature operates, we can gain amazing insight into the systems underlying life itself. ISBN: 9780750981521. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Susan Chernak McElroy 221169

Animals as Teachers & Healers

Rider, 1997. Paperback. Pp: 252. 'In their innocence and wisdom, in their connection to the earth and its most ancient rhythms, animals show us a way back to a home they never left' says Susan Chernak McElroy, who owes her triumph over cancer to the love of her dog, Keesha - and to the courage she found in the act of saving a dying cat. In ANIMALS AS TEACHERS AND HEALERS, she tells her own story and gathers those from others whose lives have been touched by the transforming power of animals. The stories are arranged into categories including animals as guardians, animals in dreams and visions and animals as soul-menders. ANIMALS AS TEACHERS AND HEALERS is a reminder of the lessons we can learn - and the healing we can receive - from the relationship we have with animals. ISBN: 9780712672641. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Frans de Waal 232758

The Ape and the Sushi Master. Cultural Reflections by a Primatologist

Basic Books, 2001. Paperback. Pp: 433. What if apes had their own culture rather than an imposed human version? What if they reacted to situations with behaviour learned through observation of their elders (culture) rather than with pure genetically coded instinct (nature)? In answering these questions, eminent primatologist Frans de Waal corrects our arrogant assumption that humans are the only creatures to have made the leap from the natural to the cultural domain.The book's title derives from an analogy de Waal draws between the way behaviour is transmitted in ape society and the way sushi-making skills are passed down from sushi master to apprentice. Like the apprentice, young apes watch their group mates at close range, absorbing the methods and lessons of each of their elders' actions. Responses long thought to be instinctive are actually learned behaviour, de Waal argues, and constitute ape culture.A delightful mix of intriguing anecdote, rigorous clinical study, adventurous field work, and fascinating speculation, The Ape and the Sushi Master shows that apes are not human caricatures but members of our extended family with their own resourcefulness and dignity.
