In an extremely well-organized progression, the student is lead to an understanding of the essential topics, explained in logical self-contained units. Each chapter ends with suggestions for further reading. In this second edition, the coverage of mechanisms of behavior is much expanded, as is the material on evolution and natural selection. The chapter on development includes much of the new work on learning and memory, especially song-learning in birds. Indeed throughout the book, examples are drawn from recent ground-breaking research.

With the dramatically rising sophistication of biological methods and products and the increasing use of recombinant DNA technology, now is an apt time to review the status of biotechnology in animal feeding. This book gives succinct yet comprehensive coverage of products of biotechnology and allied sciences used in animal feed and feeding industries. Particular emphasis is placed on: – Conservation and upgrading of feeds and feed components – Increasing the protein value of feeds – Antimicrobials – Microbial feed additives – Increasing the energy value of feeds. Moreover, increasing environmental concerns are reflected in chapters describing dietary products which may help to reduce environmental hazards from animal feeding enterprises. A discussion of social and legislative aspects relating to biotechnology and animal feeding rounds off this useful compilation of timely articles.

English | 2020 | pages: 233 | ISBN: 0198843704, 0192859323 | PDF | 1,3 mb
The continuities between human and animal minds are increasingly well understood. This has led many people to make claims about consciousness in animals, which has often been taken to be crucial for their moral standing. Peter Carruthers argues compellingly that there is no fact of the matter to be discovered, and that the question of animal consciousness is of no scientific or ethical significance.

Free Download Christopher A. Faraone, "Greek and Roman Animal Sacrifice: Ancient Victims, Modern Observers"
English | ISBN: 1107011124 | 2012 | 224 pages | PDF | 8 MB
The interpretation of animal sacrifice, now considered the most important ancient Greek and Roman religious ritual, has long been dominated by the views of Walter Burkert, the late J.-P. Vernant, and Marcel Detienne. No penetrating and general critique of their views has appeared and, in particular, no critique of the application of these views to Roman religion. Nor has any critique dealt with the use of literary and visual sources by these writers. This book, a collection of essays by leading scholars, incorporates all these subjects and provides a theoretical background for the study of animal sacrifice in an ancient context.

Author: Brandon Keim
Narrator: Paul Woodson
Honeybees deliberate democratically. Rats reflect on the past. Snakes have friends. In recent decades, our understanding of animal cognition has exploded, making it indisputably clear that the cities and landscapes around us are filled with thinking, feeling individuals besides ourselves. But the way we relate to wild animals has yet to catch up. In Meet the Neighbors, science journalist Brandon Keim asks: what would it mean to take the minds of other animals seriously? In this wide-ranging exploration of animals’ inner lives, Keim takes us into courtrooms and wildlife hospitals, under backyard decks and into deserts, to meet anew the wild creatures who populate our communities and the philosophers, rogue pest controllers, ecologists, wildlife doctors, and others who are reimagining our relationships to them. When we come to understand the depths of their pleasures and pains, the richness of their family lives and their histories, what do we owe so-called pests and predators, or animals who are sick or injured? Can thinking of nonhumans as our neighbors help chart a course to a kinder, gentler planet? As Keim suggests, the answers to these questions are central to how we understand not only the rest of the living world, but ourselves. Meet the Neighbors opens our eyes to the world of vibrant intelligence just outside our doors.

Here, celebrated animal communicator and animal behaviorist Michael R. Burke, teaches you how. He brings together all of his signature processes, tools, and techniques to help you strengthen your intuitive abilities so that you may do just that: help you and your animals-no matter if you have a dog, a cat, or another creature-feel calmer, more balanced, and fulfilled as you co-create a joyful life together.

It’s important to cultivate clear, calm, confident energy before interacting with animals, and Michael offers exercises to help you build this foundation. You will learn about journaling and mindfulness as methods for balancing your own energy and improving your animal communication, and practice recognizing and interpreting energy in all forms. These tools are essential, and will set you up for success when it comes to animal communication.
