Download or read book Talking to Animals written by Jon Katz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Jon Katz—“a Thoreau for modern times” (San Antonio Express-News)—offers us a deeper understanding of the inner lives of animals and teaches us how we can more effectively communicate with them, made real by his own remarkable experiences with a wide array of creatures great and small. In Talking to Animals, journalist Jon Katz—who left his Manhattan life behind two decades ago for life on a farm where he is surrounded by dogs, cats, sheep, horses, cows, goats, and chickens—marshals his experience to offer us a deeper insight into animals and the tools needed for effectively communicating with them. Devoting each chapter to a specific animal from his life, Katz tells funny and illuminating stories about his profound experiences with them, showing us how healthy engagement with animals falls into five key areas: Food, Movement, Visualization, Language, and Instincts. Along the way, we meet Simon the donkey who arrives at Katz’s farm near death and now serves as his Tai Chi partner. We meet Red the dog who started out antisocial and untrained and is now a therapy dog working with veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. And we meet Winston, the dignified and brave rooster who was injured defending his hens from a hawk and who has better interpersonal skills than most humans. Thoughtful and intelligent, lively and powerful, this book will completely change the way you think about and interact with animals. Katz’s “honest, straightforward, and sometimes searing prose will speak to those who love animals, and might well convert some who do not” (Booklist).

Download or read book Talking Animals written by Joni Murphy and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Joni Murphy’s inventive and beautiful allegory depicts a city enmeshed in climate collapse, blinded to the signs of its imminent destruction by petty hatreds and monstrous greed: that is, the world we are living in now. Talking Animals is an Orwellian tale of totalitarianism in action, but the animals on this farm are much cuter, and they make better puns." —Chris Kraus, author of I Love Dick and After Kathy Acker A fable for our times, Joni Murphy’s Talking Animals takes place in an all-animal world where creatures rather like us are forced to deal with an all-too-familiar landscape of soul-crushing jobs, polluted oceans, and a creeping sense of doom. It’s New York City, nowish. Lemurs brew espresso. Birds tend bar. There are bears on Wall Street, and a billionaire racehorse is mayor. Sea creatures are viewed with fear and disgust and there’s chatter about building a wall to keep them out. Alfonzo is a moody alpaca. His friend Mitchell is a sociable llama. They both work at City Hall, but their true passions are noise music and underground politics. Partly to meet girls, partly because the world might be ending, these lowly bureaucrats embark on an unlikely mission to expose the corrupt system that’s destroying the city from within. Their project takes them from the city’s bowels to its extremities, where they encounter the Sea Equality Revolutionary Front, who are either a group of dangerous radicals or an inspiring liberation movement. In this novel, at last, nature kvetches and grieves, while talking animals offer us a kind of solace in the guise of dumb jokes. This is mass extinction as told by BoJack Horseman. This is The Fantastic Mr. Fox journeying through Kafka's Amerika. This is dogs and cats, living together. Talking Animals is an urgent allegory about friendship, art, and the elemental struggle to change one’s life under the low ceiling of capitalism.

Download or read book Why Animals Talk written by Arik Kershenbaum and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Animal communication doesn’t need to resemble human language to be full of meaning and nuance. Arik Kershenbaum delivers an expert overview of the astonishing discoveries made in the last few decades" —Frans de Waal From leading zoologist Arik Kershenbaum, a delightful and groundbreaking exploration of animal communication and its true meaning Animal communication has forever seemed intelligible. We are surrounded by animals and the cacophony of sounds that they make—from the chirping of songbirds to the growls of lions on the savanna—but we have yet to fully understand why animals communicate the way they do. What are they saying? This is only part of the mystery. To go deeper, we must also ask, what is motivating them? Why Animals Talk is an exhilarating journey through the untamed world of animal communication. Following his international bestseller, The Zoologist’s Guide to the Galaxy, acclaimed zoologist Arik Kershenbaum draws on extensive original research to reveal how many of the animal kingdom’s most seemingly confusing or untranslatable signals are in fact logical and consistent—and not that different from our own. His fascinating deep dive into this timeless subject overturns decades of conventional wisdom, inviting readers to experience for the first time communication through the minds of animals themselves. From the majestic howls of wolves and the enchanting chatter of parrots to the melodic clicks of dolphins and the spirited grunts of chimpanzees, these often strange expressions are far from mere noise. In fact, they hold secrets that we are just beginning to decipher. It’s one of the oldest mysteries that has haunted Homo sapiens for hundreds of thousands of years: Are animals talking just like us, or are we the only animals on the planet to have our own language?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first glance, 58-year-old Hannah Dragé might be mistaken for a free-spirited hippie, often found immersed in meditation, adorned with crystals, and carrying the scent of incense. Her daughters, Amelia and Charlotte, share a relationship best described as distant. Though often lost in daydreams or music, cross paths with Hannah’s fiery temper, and you’d soon forget her tranquil exterior. Haunted by a sense of unfulfilled destiny, Hannah frequently felt like an outsider, even within her own family. This sentiment led her to find solace in conversations with the spectral realm. The key to understanding and, more importantly, altering her life, however, was handed down to her following her parents’ demise: a family heirloom, a book of magic. Upon opening the book, Hannah’s dormant magic is reignited. She is introduced to her spirit guide, Ferdinand, a shapeshifting dragon capable of taking on a striking human form. Women from the mythical land of Jardine appear, committed to guiding Hannah in wielding her rediscovered magic—a power once suppressed by a curse placed on Ferdinand. Assisted by the spectral wisdom of her great-grandmother, Hannah embarks on a journey to free Ferdinand from his curse, discovering along the way an affectionate half-brother, Olwen, residing in Germany. Together, they work to decipher the enigma of Ferdinand’s curse in Imagine’s enthralling tale.

Download or read book T R O G S Book Three written by Craig Brouwer and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007-06-25 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Three Summary This third novel of the series has short stories that involve the human psychology and relates to people in general ranging from years of the past to modern-day people. It gives one an idea of the struggles of people in their lives here on earth under conditions that are categorized as sinful, as you have read of such the case in book 1 and 2. In these stories, you will find the author describing certain realities that people also face and have a conclusion of the myth or abnormal life of such as the chapters involved in this book tell. This is part of a trilogy, the third series of the TROGS (The Reich of God Sins.) The word Reich pertains to a connection of the people and of God in which the sins of mankind are so abundant in everyday life. Also that there is a means to stay alive and do well each day and survive these times in life. The two, together, form a bond or understanding that sins are a human fault and all people are sinners! God is the one in charge, and if we fall or fail, we are granted that we can get back up and keep trying. After all, being a human and living with sin needs somebody with some compassion, caring, and understanding.
