Book excerpt: The life of the Meerkats - from the highly successful TV series, and soon to be released major feature film MEERKAT MANOR is the true-life story of Flower, the heroine of the successful television series, and the dominant female of Whiskers group. Through words and superb photographs, the reader becomes closely involved in the life-or-death struggles, just like a soap opera, of this curiously attractive tribe. MEERKAT MANOR not only describes what meerkats do, but explains why they do it, providing important insights into the working of other animal societies, including humans. 'They look cute and their teamwork has led some to suggest they are ideal role models for humans, but ... if MEERKAT MANOR is billed as a soap opera, it is one scripted by Quentin Tarantino' Mail on Sunday.

Download or read book Animals and Ourselves written by Kathy Merlock Jackson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between humans and animals has always been strong, symbiotic and complicated. Animals, real and fictional, have been a mainstay in the arts and entertainment, figuring prominently in literature, film, television, social media, and live performances. Increasingly, though, people are anthropomorphizing animals, assigning them humanoid roles, tasks and identities. At the same time, humans, such as members of the furry culture or college mascots, find pleasure in adopting animal identities and characteristics. This book is the first of its kind to explore these growing phenomena across media. The contributors to this collection represent various disciplines, to include the arts, humanities, social sciences, and healthcare. Their essays demonstrate the various ways that human and animal lives are intertwined and constantly evolving.
Download or read book Meerkats written by Lisa Hughes and published by Character-19. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This small mammal, belonging to the mongoose family, is native to parts of South Africa, southwestern Angola, the Namib Desert in Namibia, and Botswana’s Kalahari Desert. “Mobs” or “gangs” of meerkats are made up of around 20 individual family members, but larger groups of “super families” of around 50 or more, are not uncommon. The life span of a meerkat is around six or seven years, although this doubles for animals in captivity. These amazing creatures have no excess “fat” stores and daily foraging is a necessity. A “sentry” or “guard” watches as the mob forage for food, and keeps an eye out for predators. This usually lasts an hour as the gang search for insects, lizards, snakes, scorpions, eggs, spiders, and small mammals. The sentry will “bark” or whistle loudly if danger is approaching, but when all is well, the meerkat on duty will make peeping sounds to indicate relative safety. Through various forms of media, these cute furry animals have grown in popularity over the years with the public. This book takes a look at the fascinating life of the meerkat, the history of the mammal and its natural habitat, as well as meerkat anatomy, populations, groups, and long-term survival.
Download or read book After the Eclipse written by Sarah Perry and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice. “A heartfelt memoir and a suspenseful story” of a murdered mother (Gabourey Sidibe, Book of the Month Club). When Sarah Perry was twelve, she saw a partial eclipse; she took it as a good omen for her and her mother, Crystal. But that moment of darkness foreshadowed a much larger one: two days later, Crystal was murdered in their home in rural Maine. It took twelve years to find the killer. In that time, Sarah rebuilt her life amid abandonment, police interrogations, and the exacting toll of trauma. She dreamed of a trial, but when the day came, it brought no closure. It was not her mother’s death she wanted to understand, but her life. She began her own investigation, one that drew her back to Maine, deep into the darkness of a small American town. “Pull[ing] the reader swiftly along on parallel tracks of mystery and elegy” in After the Eclipse, “Perry succeeds in restoring her mother’s humanity and her own” (The New York Times Book Review). “Raw and perfect . . . After the Eclipse [has] an eerie, heartbreaking power that it shares with the very best of true crime.” —Laura Miller, Slate “A gut punch . . . A heartbreaking yet hopeful testament to human resilience.” —Samantha Irby, Marie Claire “With clear, powerful prose, Perry paints a portrait of unconventional motherhood while questioning society’s handling of violence against women. Reminiscent of Maggie Nelson’s The Red Parts, After the Eclipse tells the very human story at the center of a needless crime.”—W Magazine
