Download or read book American Roadkill written by Don H. Corrigan and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slaughtered along our highways, roadkill may be observed regularly, but aren't likely to be given much thought. Research scientists, animal rights activists, roadkill artists, writers, ethicists and lyricists, however, are increasingly sounding the alarm. They report that we are killing the very animals we love, and are driving many of them to the brink of extinction. Detailing the death and destruction of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and insect pollinators, this study examines the ways in which we are thus jeopardizing our own futures. Beginning in the Model T era, biologists counted the common carnage of the time--cottontails, woodchucks, and squirrels, mostly. That record-keeping continues today. Beyond the bleak statistics, zoologists are rerouting migratory paths of animals and are advocating for cat and dog companions. This book illuminates both our successes and failures in keeping animals out of harm's way and what those efforts reflect about ourselves and our capacity to care enough to alter the road ahead.

Download or read book If you meet George Herbert on the road kill him written by Justin Lewis-Anthony and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Priestly ministry in the Church of England needs a radical rethink... George Herbert died in 1633. His legacy continues. His poems are read and sung, and his parish ministry remains the model for the Church of England's understanding of how and where and why its priests should minister. But there is a problem. The memory of Herbert celebrated by the Church is an inaccurate one, and, in its inaccuracy, is unfair on Herbert himself and his successors in the ordained ministry. This is a book of the long view. It sets out to assess realistically the context of Herbert's life and to explore the difficulties of parish life today. By examining the status and role of parish clergy since Herbert's time and today, it draws on the work of historians, social anthropologists, psychologists and theologians, and presents their ideas in a readable and passionate style. It argues that the future strength of parochial ministry will be found in a recovery of historic, renewed understandings of priestly ministry, and concludes by outlining more sustainable patterns of practice for the future. In a climate of uncertainty for the future of the church, it will be an encouragement for priest and people, and welcomed by both.

However, there was something off about this whale. It was wearing a GoPro camera that had a belt with a label on the inside that read “Equipment of St. Petersburg.” The whale was most likely an animal spy, which was trained by the Russian government. Sounds crazy, right? Not at all. The idea of using animals as government operatives isn’t a new one. In fact, over 2,000 years ago the Romans were using pigeons to send secret military messages to each other. Pigeons were so effective that they were still being used during World War II. The United Kingdom alone used about 250,000 pigeons for a number of secret missions, such as communicating with their human spies behind enemy lines. Since then, the world’s militaries have thought of all sorts of ways to use animals to gather or pass secret information on—some more successful than others. 動物間諜出任務 二○一九年四月，一隻白鯨被人發現在挪威水域游泳——你可能會認為這並不是什麼特別的景象。然而，這隻鯨魚有些地方不太對勁。牠戴著一台GoPro攝影機，上面有一條皮帶，內側印有「聖彼得堡設備」標籤。這隻鯨魚很有可能是俄羅斯政府訓練的動物間諜。 聽起來很瘋狂，對吧？一點也不。用動物作為政府特務的想法並不是什麼新鮮事。事實上，古羅馬人在兩千多年前就用鴿子來互相傳遞祕密軍事訊息了。鴿子非常有效率，以致於第二次世界大戰期間仍被使用。光是英國就使用了約二十五萬隻鴿子執行一些祕密任務，像是在敵區與人類間諜交換訊息。 從那時起，全世界的軍隊就想出各種利用動物收集或傳遞祕密訊息的方法——有些方法比其他方法更成功。 Cats are known to have excellent poker faces. Because of this, they make perfect spies. That’s what the CIA thought when it placed listening instruments inside cats’ ears in the 1960s. However, the project ended after its top spy cat was run over by a taxi while staking out the Russian embassy in Washington D.C. The United States also developed a way to control insects with wires joined to their nerves. These spy insects would enter the enemy’s base to listen for secrets. Now, using modern technology, the US military has changed its focus to creating spying machines that are half robot, half insect. In the 1960s, the US Navy started training dolphins and sea lions to recover lost objects and detect mines in the ocean. They turned out to be perfect for the job—over 100 of them still work for the US military today! Throughout history, militaries have used animals to gain the upper hand over their enemies. So the next time you see an animal in public, think twice: it could actually be a secret agent on an important mission! 眾所周知貓非常擅於面無表情。因此牠們能成為完美的間諜。中央情報局在一九六○年代於貓耳朵裡裝入監聽器時是那麼想的。然而，在它頂尖的貓間諜在華盛頓特區監視俄羅斯大使館而遭到一輛計程車撞死時，這項計畫就結束了。 美國也研發出一種用接在神經上的電線來控制昆蟲的方式。這些間諜昆蟲會飛進敵軍基地來竊聽機密。現在，美軍用現代科技已改變焦點，轉而設計半機器人半昆蟲的間諜機器。 一九六○年代，美國海軍開始訓練海豚和海獅找回海洋中的失物及探測水雷。結果牠們很適合這份工作——今天，牠們仍有超過一百隻替美軍工作！ 縱觀歷史，軍隊一直利用動物來比敵方取得更多優勢。所以下次你在公開場合看到一隻動物時再想一下：牠們事實上可能是一個正在執行重要任務的特務！
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Decolonizing Art Craft and Visual Culture Education written by Manisha Sharma and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This companion demonstrates how art, craft, and visual culture education activate social imagination and action that is equity- and justice-driven. Specifically, this book provides arts-engaged, intersectional understandings of decolonization in the contemporary art world that cross disciplinary lines. Visual and traditional essays in this book combine current scholarship with pragmatic strategies and insights grounded in the reality of socio-cultural, political, and economic communities across the globe. Across three sections (creative shorts, enacted encounters, and ruminative research), a diverse group of authors address themes of histories, space and land, mind and body, and the digital realm. Chapters highlight and illustrate how artists, educators, and researchers grapple with decolonial methods, theories, and strategies—in research, artmaking, and pedagogical practice. Each chapter includes discursive questions and resources for further engagement with the topics at hand. The book is targeted towards scholars and practitioners of art education, studio art, and art history, K-12 art teachers, as well as artist educators and teaching artists in museums and communities.

In short, I sometimes take a beating like roadkill on a country highway! Life really is one long journey to heaven. My travel journal is filled with what I've learned along the way--the hurts, the laughter, the victories, the failings, the crowds and the loneliness, and mostly, the times I've seen God at work." --Chonda

Applications of conservation genetics for management or policy, decision making, planning, and implementation of conservation practice in the Neotropics are addressed across chapters. This book will interest to researchers and students in conservation genetics and biology conservation interested in the Neotropics. Stakeholders and decision makers in conservation biology may also find this book useful.
Download or read book Biting the Hands that Feed Us written by Baylen Linnekin and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today in the United States, laws exist at all levels of government that exacerbate problems such as food waste, hunger, inhumane livestock conditions, and disappearing fish stocks. Baylen Linnekin argues that government rules often handcuff America's most sustainable farmers, producers, sellers, and consumers, while rewarding those whose practices are anything but sustainable. Biting the Hands that Feed Us introduces readers to the perverse consequences of many food rules, from crippling organic farms to subsidizing monocrops. Linnekin also explores what makes for a good law--often, he explains, these emphasize good outcomes over rigid processes. But he urges readers to reconsider efforts to regulate our way to a greener food system, calling instead for empowerment of those working to feed us--and themselves--sustainably.
Download or read book Watching in Tongues Multilingualism on American Television in the 21st Century written by James G. Mitchell and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores ideas and issues related to second language (L2) speakers and L2 use as portrayed on American television. It examines many examples of television depictions of L2 speakers and L2 use collected in the first decades of the 21st century. The book is divided into four three-chapter sections. “Humor and Homicide” looks at two aspects of the inclusion of L2 speakers and L2 use on television: L2 use or speakers depicted to create humor in various ways, especially through miscommunication or misunderstanding, and L2 knowledge used to solve crimes in the detective/police procedural genre. The section describes the reasons behind these phenomena, how they work, and the messages they convey to viewers. “Language Learning” explores how both adult and child language acquisition is represented and misrepresented on American television, with analysis of realistic vs. non-realistic depictions. “Subtitles and Stereotypes” explores the ways in which L2 speakers are often negatively depicted on television, their portrayal based on stereotypes. This work specifically investigates the role that subtitles play in leading viewers to such conclusions, employing the idea of language subordination, a process that devalues non-standard language while validating the norms and beliefs of the dominant group. Also considered are ways in which stereotypes are sometimes used to undermine negative perspectives on L2 speakers. “Language Attitudes and Mediation” evaluates depictions of second languages used as tools of mediation in both historical and satirical terms as well as the feelings these portrayals engender in viewers. In short, this work asks questions that have not previously been posed about L2 use on television, and it provides answers that not only shed light on issues of the representation of language learning and language use, but also constitute a lens through which American society as a whole might be understood.
