Download or read book Decline of the Animal Kingdom written by Laura Clarke and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A debut collection with a fresh approach Decline of the Animal Kingdom investigates modern constructs of domesticity, freedom, wilderness, and artificiality to paint a portrait of what it means to be human, animal, or both in a society saturated with dog boutiques, trophy hunting, retro taxidermy, and eco-tourism. With brief forays into Algonquin Park and the heart of the 1980s jungle, the book largely draws its energy from the urban landscape, where the animals that interact with the environment have permanent effects on the land and human psyche. A wild deer wanders into the downtown core; the Galapagos and the ethics of conservation invade our Xbox; a mule grows weary of his unrewarding office job and unfulfilling relationships. Exploring the victories and defeats of an urban existence complete with 9-to-5 office angst, the claustrophobia of domestic partnerships in bachelor apartments, and party-and-pick-up culture, Decline of the Animal Kingdom is Laura Clarke's love letter to the city of Toronto, and to extinct animals and office misfits alike.

Download or read book The Growth of Groups in the Animal Kingdom written by R. E. Lloyd and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Growth of Groups in the Animal Kingdom: With Two Coloured Plates This book deals with the subject of evolution in a somewhat discursive manner, but its main theme is indicated by the title. It points out that groups of like animals, such as are small in membership and temporary in duration, are common in nature. These groups are not considered to be equivalent to species, they are referred to as family groups. A large part of the book deals with the origin, fate, and significance of such groups. Here and there the question, What is a species? is raised, but not answered. The tenth chapter is an attempt to show that the Mutation Theory is important to the physician, and the last chapter borders on philosophy. The whole appears more compact, if it be regarded as an attempt to help on the new movement in biology, to spread those ideas referred to by some as the Mutation Theory, by others as Mendelism, ideas that are permanently associated with the names of Mendel, Bateson, and De Vries. The writer's warrant for asserting himself lies not in the bulk, but in the variety of his experience, which has been derived from several sources, but from none in particular.

Book excerpt: THERE IS NO BATTLE THAT CANNOT BE CONQUERED WHEN WE ARE UNITED... The kingdom of Kename is the smallest kingdom but there is something that is common amidst them and that is their spirit of unity. The kingdom within and afar off are always jealous of them despite their small members and envy their successful little achievement a lot. Due to the existence of oneness within them, they have been able to come up with ideas, subdue nations both small and great and extend their coast far and wide because God had always been there to help and support them. They have always live a life of heaven on earth, until the day pride gain access into their midst. They shifted their focus away from God believing they have achieved all by their own strength. What was the result of their pride?

Download or read book Creatures of Accident written by Wallace Arthur and published by Hill & Wang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important aspect of evolution, from a philosophical viewpoint, is the rise of complex, advanced creatures from simple, primitive ones. This "vertical" dimension of evolution has been downplayed in both the specialist and popular literature on evolution, in large part because it was in the past associated with unsavory political views. The avoidance of evolution's vertical dimension has, however, left evolutionary biology open to the perception, from outside, that it deals merely with the diversification of rather similar creatures, all at the same level of "advancedness" from a common ancestor--for example, the classic case studies of finches with different beaks or moths of different colors. The latest incarnation of creationism, dubbed intelligent design (or ID), has taken advantage of this situation. It portrays an evolutionary process that is constantly guided--especially in its upward direction--by the hand of an unseen Creator, who is able to ensure that it ends up producing humans. "Creatures of Accident" attacks the antiscience ID worldview, mainly by building a persuasive picture of how "unaided" evolution produces advanced creatures from simple ones by an essentially accidental process. Having built this picture, in the final chapter the book reflects on its religious implications.
