Download or read book Anthropology and Cryptozoology written by Samantha Hurn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cryptozoology is best understood as the study of animals which, in the eyes of Western science, are extinct, unclassified or unrecognised. In consequence, and in part because of its selective methods and lack of epistemological rigour, cryptozoology is often dismissed as a pseudo-science. However, there is a growing recognition that social science can benefit from engaging with it, for as as social scientists are very well aware, ’scientific’ categorisation and explanation represents just one of a myriad of systems used by humans to enable them to classify and make sense of the world around them. In many cultural contexts, myth, folk classification and lived experience challenge the ’truth’ expounded by scientists. With a reflexive, anthropological approach and drawing on rich empirical and ethnographic studies from around the world, this volume engages with the theoretical and methodological issues raised by reported sightings of unrecognised animals. Bringing into sharp focus the anthropological value and challenges for methodology posed by beliefs about unclassified creatures, Anthropology and Cryptozoology: Exploring encounters with mysterious creatures will be of interest to anthropologists, sociologists and geographers working in the fields of research methods, anthrozoology, mythology and folklore and human-animal interaction.

Download or read book God Is Redundant written by M. Anton Mikicic and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: M. Anton Mikicic's god is redundant evolved from a free-thinking dad's letter to his two pre-teen daughters, not to indoctrinate them into a secular worldview, but rather inform them about other perspectives beyond Christianity. Written in plain language and containing many famous and thought-provoking quotes, it recaps some of the classic arguments for and against theism as well as reviews some of the most recent work of authors like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens. Mikicic dispels common misconceptions about theism and atheism and provides simple and straightforward answers to questions like: - Is the U.S. a Christian nation? - What are the differences between faith and reason? - What are the benefits and drawbacks of religion? - What are the arguments for and against theism? - How accurate is the Bible? Who was Jesus? Was he unique or historical? - Is religion the basis for morality? Born into a Catholic family and educated by Jesuits, M. Anton Mikicic evolved from an "a la carte" to a "recovering" Catholic and is now a full-fledged skeptic. Always fascinated by philosophy, theology, science, and religion, god is redundant is the result of his search for intellectual honesty in matters of faith. Professionally, Mikicic has worked in marketing and has a master's degree in advertising. He's a member of the American Civil Liberties Union and the Freedom from Religion Foundation. Mikicic enjoys the arts, especially music, literature, and film. His favorite freethinkers include Thomas Jefferson, Mark Twain, John Lennon, Dan Barker, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, George Carlin, Bill Maher, and Julia Sweeney. But most of all, Mikicic loves just spending time with his family, especially traveling to new places, enjoying nature, or discussing what everyone learned that day over one of his wife's fabulous dinners and a glass of wine.
