Taking a hard look at the consequences of ignoring the rhythms found in nature, this novel focuses on Jubal Siner-an all-knowing antihero who offers freedom from the idea of redemption. Stylistically at home with Cormac McCarthy and Flannery O'Connor, this brooding work puts a twist on classic American literature by delving into a fascinating world of dark magical realism.

What are the links between the "inner" world of our imagination, emotions, and thoughts and the "outer" world where we encounter animals? Can it be that the psychological and ecological are one and the same? This book shows how their convergence might alter our perception of "community." Currently the connection between people and animals appears dysfunctional because of the accelerated loss of species. Since we will not save what we do not love, this book seeks to restore the honor and importance of animals. Dreams, including daydreams (thoughts, ideas, cultural myths) and sleep dreams, have positive and negative consequences in the world. In order to help heal ourselves and the Earth, this book dives deeply into the lives of many animals, documents our relationship to them over time, and shows how to work with dreams and dialogues. A great emotion, transforming in effect, is released when we take the beauty and power of dream animals to heart.

From the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century, hundreds of British women wrote about and drew from nature. Some—like the beloved children's author Beatrix Potter, who produced natural history about hedgehogs as well as fiction about rabbits—are still familiar today. But others have all but disappeared from view. Barbara Gates recovers these lost works and prints them alongside little-known pieces by more famous authors, like Potter's field notes on hedgehogs, reminding us of better known stories that help set the others in context. The works contained in this volume are as varied as the women who produced them. They include passionate essays on the protection of animals, vivid accounts of travel and adventure from the English seashore to the Indian Alps, poetry and fiction, and marvelous tales of nature for children. Special features of the book include a detailed chronology placing each selection in its historical and literary context; biographical sketches of each author's life and works; a comprehensive bibliography of primary and secondary literature; and over sixty illustrations. An ideal introduction to women's powerful and diverse responses to the natural world, In Nature's Name will be treasured by anyone interested in natural history, women, or Victorian and Edwardian Britain.

“Some journeys take people on long trips. Some journeys are even lifelong. Is it possible for a journey to get you so lost from yourself that you forget who you are? Is it possible that some journeys take people back to themselves? Is it possible that the greatest journey of all is completely devoid of a place or time or distance?” Am I still Dreaming Now? is a novel unlike any other. An unnamed protagonist finds himself on a fantastical journey of much needed healing, starting off in the darkest hell that pervades his remaining will to survive. The story is a literary onion. He will bare his soul to you on his journey towards as the layers of pain are uncovered. Following along his path, you will meet characters reminiscent of stories like Alice in Wonderland. Marching storm clouds, a disappearing cow, a bully of an ant, and much more await your acquaintance. Your journey will take you through hidden valleys with living creatures that are unique to his world, rivers with true deep meanings, plateaus which are heavenly close, and a brook with a voice. They will all help our main character question every aspect of life on his way towards being healed. The story brings up questions of whether anything seen can be considered real, or if it takes place in some kind of lucid dream born from the mind of a wounded soul. The surreal events and creatures you will encounter will cause you to question, am I still dreaming now? While these peculiar events on this journey will forever change how we see the present, they just may save us in the end. Twenty-seven original poems are intricately intertwined within the body of the journey itself. Artists from around the world have contributed eighteen beautiful and imaginative pieces of art. The story will enchant you in a way that is unique and refreshing! All of which take place while you go on this one-of-a-kind healing journey.

This extensively revised and expanded new edition offers concepts, principles and applied information that relates to the wellbeing of reptiles. As a manual on health and welfare in a similar vein to volumes addressing the sciences of anatomy, behaviour or psychology, this book thoroughly examines the biology of reptile welfare and is about meeting biological needs. The editors, acknowledged experts in their own right, have once again drawn together an extremely impressive international group of contributors. Positive and negative implications of general husbandry and research programs are discussed. In addition to greatly revised original content are nine new chapters offering readers novel insight into: • sensory systems • social behaviour • brain and cognition • controlled deprivation and enrichment • effects of captivity-imposed noise and light disturbance on welfare • spatial and thermal factors• evidential thresholds for species suitability in captivity • record keeping as an aid to captive care • arbitrary husbandry practices and misconceptions The authors have adopted a user-friendly writing style to accommodate a broad readership. Although primarily aimed at academic professionals, this comprehensive volume is fundamentally a biology book that will also inform all involved in captive reptile husbandry. Among others, zoo personnel, herpetologists, veterinarians, lab animal scientists, and expert readers in animal welfare and behavioural studies will benefit from this updated work.
