Download or read book Animal Pursuits written by Richard J. Atkinson and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 829 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a fantasy about animals, containing a lot of trivia, facts, fantasy, and a myriad of pun aspects of the animals. What might happen if, after the destruction of the human race, animals took over? This is a tale about the malicious murder of a few animals and the resulting chase, arrest, and prosecution of the perpetrators. It is told by an elephant to his grand calves. The story covers the murder and the investigation by Chief Inspector Bobby Bloodhound and his renowned team of detectives. They investigate the ant colonies, the beehives, the ocean, the bird sanctuary, the farm, and the wild jungle. There is a chase, a capture, and a court case to follow. Many human comparisons can be made from the behavior and actions of the animals involved.
Download or read book Capture written by Antoine Traisnel and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading canonical works of the nineteenth century through the modern transformation of human–animal relations From Audubon’s still-life watercolors to Muybridge’s trip-wire locomotion studies, from Melville’s epic chases to Poe’s detective hunts, the nineteenth century witnessed a surge of artistic, literary, and scientific treatments that sought to “capture” the truth of animals at the historical moment when animals were receding from everyday view. In Capture, Antoine Traisnel reveals how the drive to contain and record disappearing animals was a central feature and organizing pursuit of the nineteenth-century U.S. cultural canon. Capture offers a critical genealogy of the dominant representation of animals as elusive, precarious, and endangered that came to circulate widely in the nineteenth century. Traisnel argues that “capture” is deeply continuous with the projects of white settler colonialism and the biocapitalist management of nonhuman and human populations, demonstrating that the desire to capture animals in representation responded to and normalized the systemic disappearance of animals effected by unprecedented changes in the land, the rise of mass slaughter, and the new awareness of species extinction. Tracking the prototyping of biopolitical governance and capitalist modes of control, Traisnel theorizes capture as a regime of vision by which animals came to be seen, over the course of the nineteenth century, as at once unknowable and yet understood in advance—a frame by which we continue to encounter animals today.

This book was released on 2002-10-23 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In three Parts the author examines the right of hot pursuit on land, in the international law of the sea, and in international air law. He critically analyzes the development of the right, its present status and position in the future. Hence, solutions are proposed to present problems of international law in connection with the right of hot pursuit, as well as to problems which may arise in the future. Thus, the doctrine of hot pursuit is placed within the framework of modern international law and examined in the light of recent developments. These extensively discussed developments include not only consideration of the right of hot pursuit in connection with guerilla warfare techniques and conflicts not amounting to war, but also all recent evolutions in the international law of the sea, including, inter alia, problems appertaining to fisheries, exploration and exploitation of the continental shelf, pirate radiostations, and pollution of the sea. In addition, the right of hot pursuit in international air law is examined in connection with all modern situations, for instance, recent interception techniques of intruding aircraft, contiguous air space limits, hi-jacking of aircraft and air piracy. This work is an extended and updated edition of the book first published in 1969.
