Download or read book Fancy Rats written by Diane özdamar and published by Amherst Media, Inc. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have prejudices about and fears towards rats; they are misunderstood creatures. However, for a large segment of the population, the rodents are cherished pets. The fancy rat is the most common breed of domesticated or pet rat. The name fancy rat derives from the idea of animal fancy (the promotion of domesticated animals) or the phrase "to fancy" (meaning to like or appreciate). Wild-caught specimens that become docile and bred for many generations still fall under the fancy type. In this book, animal activist and photographer Diane Ozdamar shares compelling, personality-filled portraits and stories about rats she’s fostered, leading the way to help the countless rats currently living in animal shelters to find loving homes. The stories that accompany the portraits will give readers a sense of each subject’s unique personality, fascinating behaviors, and social interactions. In addition, özdamar provides tips about rats’ care and maintenance and explains how to adopt rescue rats, how many rats to adopt, and why. Readers will also get a behind-the-scenes look at özdamar’s photographic approach, including how she uses a mini photo studio to produce such images. She provides quick photography tips for people who’d like to take pictures of their rats, lending the confidence they need to enjoy their own creative photo shoots.

Download or read book Animals in Person written by John Knight and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-29 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our relationship with animals is complex and contradictory; we hunt, kill and eat them, yet we also love, respect and protect them. This ambivalent relationship is further complicated by the fact that we attribute human emotions and intelligence to animals. We even go as far as likening them to children and treating them as family members. Drawing on a diverse range of case studies, Animals in Person attempts to unravel our close and fascinating link with the animal kingdom. This book highlights the theme of cross-species intimacy in contexts such as livestock care, pet keeping, and the use of animals in tourism. The studies draw on data from different parts of the world, including New Guinea, Nepal, India, Japan, Greece, Britain, The Netherlands and Australia. Animals in Person documents the existence of relations between humans and animals that, in many respects, recall relations among humans themselves.

Download or read book Rats written by Robert Sullivan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-12-11 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Public Library Book for the Teenager New York Public Library Book to Remember PSLA Young Adult Top 40 Nonfiction Titles of the Year "Engaging...a lively, informative compendium of facts, theories, and musings."-Michiko Kakutani, New York Times Behold the rat, dirty and disgusting! Robert Sullivan turns the lowly rat into the star of this most perversely intriguing, remarkable, and unexpectedly elegant New York Times bestseller. Love them or loathe them, rats are here to stay-they are city dwellers as much as (or more than) we are, surviving on the effluvia of our society. In Rats, the critically acclaimed bestseller, Robert Sullivan spends a year investigating a rat-infested alley just a few blocks away from Wall Street. Sullivan gets to know not just the beast but its friends and foes: the exterminators, the sanitation workers, the agitators and activists who have played their part in the centuries-old war between human city dweller and wild city rat. Sullivan looks deep into the largely unrecorded history of the city and its masses-its herds-of-rats-like mob. Funny, wise, sometimes disgusting but always compulsively readable, Rats earns its unlikely place alongside the great classics of nature writing. With an all-new Afterword by the author

Book excerpt: Rats For Kids Table of Contents Introduction What is a rat? What kinds of rats are there? Where do rats live? The history of rats and humans What is a brown rat? What is a black rat? What is a lab rat? What kinds of lab rats are there? What is a fancy rat and what kinds are there? Conclusion Author Bio Introduction Rats are some of the most adaptable creatures in the world. It seems like everyone hates them, but they really are interesting and have contributed a lot to science and made good companions for people. So, are rats all bad? Easy answer, no. But that depends on what type of rat they are, and there are many that should be avoided. Like any animal, some rats are friendly, and others are nasty. But the rat is an enduring character, inspiring writers from Brian Jacques of the Redwall series and E. B. White in Charlotte's Web to cast them as nasty, icky villains or at least as unsavory characters. But then again, sometimes rats are portrayed as good characters, such as in Pixar's Ratatouille. In the end, a rat is simply an animal looking for food and shelter.
