Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Talks About Animals The prevailing color of the living lobster is dark greenish, here and there shading into a reddish yellow. The shell is changed to deep red by boiling. Strictly speaking, the trunk is composed of three parts, the head, thorax, and abdomen, but the head and thorax are commonly called the head, and the abdomen is Spoken of as the tail. Extending in front of the head is a sharp beak called the rostrum, and on either side of this is a compound eye raised upon an eye-stock. Beneath, and projecting forward, are two pairs of feelers, one pair long and slender, and the other shorter; but divided into two prongs. On either side of the mouth is a jaw which works sideways, while below are three pairs of organs called jaw feet, since while they have the appearance of feet their use is to aid in eating. Attached to the forward part of the thorax are the large claws, and behind these are four pairs of walking feet, having at the point of connection with the thorax the gills, forming feathery fringes of a light color. The abdomen is composed of six rings, and suspended from each of these are appendages called swimmerets. The end piece is the telson, and this, together with the last pair of swimmerets, which are much larger than the others, form what is termed the tail fin. The stomach, called the lady, and often falsely said to be poison, contains teeth, and is located in the head. The next time you have a chance to examine a lobster, please see if you can find his ears. He has a pair, but where are they? You might look, too, for his nostrils, for he has them also.

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).

Book excerpt: "How Animals Talk explores the phenomenon of vocal, silent, and even motionless communication among animals. From crow talk to instant herd communication, author William J. Long theorizes that animals are much more intelligent, emotional, and moral than we have traditionally thought and that their ability to sense the presence of other living beings is an innate ability shared by humans as well. Based on many years of field observations, this classic text contains numerous examples of animal behavior that defy conventional explanation"--Simon & Schuster website, viewed September 14, 2022.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Natural History of Animals The study of Nature is the basis of Religion; and in the primitive ages of the world, previous to the epoch of revelation, mankind had no other guide to direct them to a knowledge of the existence and attributes of the Deity, than the contemplation of his works. These, indeed, exhibited such evident proofs of his power, his wisdom, and his goodness, as were sufficient to convince rational creatures, that a self-existent and infinite Being was the source and origin of all existence. This St. Paul so well understood, that he condemns the Gentiles, because, after having recognised the Supreme Being in the works of the creation, they neglected to worship him, and considers them as inexcus able; Because, says he, the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories About Animals The giraffe's only means of defence is in its legs, and it uses its heels for kicking to an extra ordinary extent, more so than any other animal, not excepting the horse. The prominence of the eyes enable it to see behind, when directing its heels against an enemy, while the blow it gives will crush in the skull of a man, or give him some broken ribs. If unmolested, it is one of the most innocent of animals. Though sometimes it meets its death from animals far below itself in size and strength, as the following account will show.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chapters on Animals It is probable that Dr. Arnold's disinclination for the study of animal life, and his painful feelings regarding it, had their origin In a peculiarity of his which made him such an excellent schoolmaster - the intense pleasure with which he contemplated moral'and intellectual advance, a pleasure which had for its shadow a feeling of intense disgust for incorrigibles. To a man with these feelings always highly-wrought, and even rather over-excited by the nature of his work, a man always anxious to make good Christians and cultivated gentlemen, the brute world must have seemed a very discouraging kind of material.

Download or read book Nature Stories for Young Readers written by Florence Bass and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Stories for Young Readers: Animal Life The subjects of this series of lessons are mainly such insects or other animals as the children may observe for themselves. The lessons aim to give illustrations of some of the varied means of self-protection employed by animals; their methods of home-building and of caring for their young; the transformations they undergo; the adaptability to their surroundings as shown by their coverings and the tools with which the various animals are provided. The purpose in attempting to bring these thoughts to the youngest readers is manifold. It is hoped that such readers may become interested, while children, in the abundant life about them, and that when this interest is gratified by learning of the wonderful lives and habits of these little people, a respect for all life may be inculcated.

The first lion was a perfect beast. The eyes of a child were as bright and wonderful four thousand years ago as are the eyes of a child now. It is not so with what man makes. What he does is never perfect. A plough, or a watch, or a shoe, is very different from what such things were two hundred years ago. As man becomes wiser, he is able to improve in his labour. Should think of these differences when sider the works of God. How lovely do thy works appear, Thou God of wisdom and of might And all that meets the eye and ear Imparts an ever new delight.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Animal Story Book There was a stage in human growth when sym pathy for any one Of another tribe was scoffed at, or even considered criminal. But this sympathy came; men learned that justice is wider than the tribal limit, though it was still considered absurd to waste pity on Slaves. In time, even that became first a possible, then an accepted thing. The broadening sympathy which is, after all, the law of love, thus took in all Of mankind, and is following further along the lines drawn by the Great Hindu, who taught that in this broadest sympathy should be included the Whole Irving world.
