This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Ludwigs Adventures! Since my two daughters heard the stories from Ludwig the elephant, Norbert the rhino and their friends every night in form of a freely told bedtime story, both pachyderms have almost become an integral part of our family. And because these two always took good care not only as "protection animals" in the nocturnal dream adventures of our daughters, but also as good examples of exemplary behaviour and almost always went with best by example, the binding with them grew further. This also drove strange flowers when for example our Great (when she had just turned 3), with full conviction stated that she now no longer needs her pacifiers because her friend Ludwig indeed needed no pacifier, too. The story of how it came about this, perhaps give room for another book. Well, because the relationship with the two grew stronger, the thought of one of their stories just grew until it was times to start painting. This is how it came to this first book of Ludwig. What is it about? The book deals with the epic tales of Ludwig and his pals, about a small elephant named Ludwig and about a small part of his large circle of friends such as "Nuhir" - the jumpy mouse and "Huhu" - the anxious owl. In this story, Ludwig helps Nuhir and Huhu to identify their fears and to finally defeat them. Once on a night around the campfire the owl Huhu , frightened by a thunderstorm disappeared. Ludwig and Nuhir on the search for her, meet a wide variety of "threats" and "fears", which all turn out to be unfounded and help the two to find her friend Huhu in the end. A creepy snake turns out to be just as helpful as friendly same as a scary big spider or the wild horde of monkeys. At the end of the story all these primal fears help the two to find Huhu in an exciting, adventurous way. During this adventure, many different friends are following our heroes Nuhir, Huhu and Ludwig through each page. From "Schulz" the colourful butterfly to "Frohdo" the frog or "Fridolin" the tiny spider over many more that are hidden on each side. By searching for these hidden animals throughout each page, the younger readers also have even more fun with this book. For whom? First of all this book was done for my daughters Alina and Milla! Then we thought that our sponsored children probably would also be happy to get a customized version. Well, and since their feedback was quite positive, we gave first copies into our circle of close friends. When finally nothing but good feedback was given (even from the "critical" circle of friends), the book was also published online. The initially publication as e-book in the popular app stores did then lead to a search for a potential publisher.Fridolins BruderHowever, the target group remains the same: Basically it is children aged 2-8 years who enjoy being read interesting and funny stories or just like to look at pretty pictures. Searching for hidden small animals within each page is given and thus makes the book even interesting for younger ages. While our big one (5 years) listens to the rhymes and overall story, our little one (3 years) is searching for hiding places of spider "Fridolin", fast snail "Sebastian" or "Schulz" the butterfly. So both girls are somehow caught within the book. For the target group of English-speaking children here is the english version. By whom? Basically, we can describe this book best as a joint family project. After the story was largely determined by the interests and wishes of our two daughters, the first sketches and drafts, as well as the rough storyline was created by Papa "uTZFu". After this, the technical language skills of my wife made a beautiful rhyming story out of it, and after the rough layout and format was defined, uTZFu started painting. The entire book was made on a Tablet Notebook and one (sometimes two) finger(s), and was converted in connection with the simplest of means.

Download or read book Savages and Beasts written by Nigel Rothfels and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2008-07-14 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To modern sensibilities, nineteenth-century zoos often seem to be unnatural places where animals led miserable lives in cramped, wrought-iron cages. Today zoo animals, in at least the better zoos, wander in open spaces that resemble natural habitats and are enclosed, not by bars, but by moats, cliffs, and other landscape features. In Savages and Beasts, Nigel Rothfels traces the origins of the modern zoo to the efforts of the German animal entrepreneur Carl Hagenbeck. By the late nineteenth century, Hagenbeck had emerged as the world's undisputed leader in the capture and transport of exotic animals. His business included procuring and exhibiting indigenous peoples in highly profitable spectacles throughout Europe and training exotic animals—humanely, Hagenbeck advertised—for circuses around the world. When in 1907 the Hagenbeck Animal Park opened in a village near Hamburg, Germany, Hagenbeck brought together all his business interests in a revolutionary zoological park. He moved wild animals out of their cages and into "natural landscapes" alongside "primitive" peoples from Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the islands of the Pacific. Hagenbeck had invented a new way of imagining captivity: the animals and people on exhibit appeared to be living in the wilds of their native lands. By looking at Hagenbeck's multiple enterprises, Savages and Beasts demonstrates how seemingly enlightened ideas about the role of zoos and the nature of animal captivity developed within the essentially tawdry business of placing exotic creatures on public display. Rothfels provides both fascinating reading and much-needed historical perspective on the nature of our relationship with the animal kingdom.
