Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Compelled by a sense of theatre and the spectacular, Taylor aims to discover and illuminate the uncommon in all situations. . . . Here poems tell truths in more than one guise, unpredictably and refreshingly."-from the foreword. Judith Taylor's second book, Selected Dreams from the Animal Kingdom, leaves no topic untouched by her innovative yet plain style and soft "mood" sonnets. Her romantic meditations gracefully explore history and dreams, eros and faith. Last night when the spider wrote its stupid sentence, you awoke. "You've failed again to be humorous in your own cosmos." The hours' hooves reflecting dark in pearled rainpools. Mother was there, her exquisite, inappropriate ornaments. Christmas five months away, but the guests smiled, white teeth. You were eating strange food again, tamarinded, saffroned. -from "Mood Sonnet #1" Judith Taylor lives and works in Los Angeles and is the founding editor of the literary journal Pool. Her poetry collection Burning won the 1999 Portlandia Group Chapbook Competition, and her book Curios was selected by the Academy of American Poets Book Club.

Download or read book How to Tame a Fox and Build a Dog written by Lee Alan Dugatkin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-04-14 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tucked away in Siberia, there are furry, four-legged creatures with wagging tails and floppy ears that are as docile and friendly as any lapdog. But, despite appearances, these are not dogs—they are foxes. They are the result of the most astonishing experiment in breeding ever undertaken—imagine speeding up thousands of years of evolution into a few decades. In 1959, biologists Dmitri Belyaev and Lyudmila Trut set out to do just that, by starting with a few dozen silver foxes from fox farms in the USSR and attempting to recreate the evolution of wolves into dogs in real time in order to witness the process of domestication. This is the extraordinary, untold story of this remarkable undertaking. Most accounts of the natural evolution of wolves place it over a span of about 15,000 years, but within a decade, Belyaev and Trut’s fox breeding experiments had resulted in puppy-like foxes with floppy ears, piebald spots, and curly tails. Along with these physical changes came genetic and behavioral changes, as well. The foxes were bred using selection criteria for tameness, and with each generation, they became increasingly interested in human companionship. Trut has been there the whole time, and has been the lead scientist on this work since Belyaev’s death in 1985, and with Lee Dugatkin, biologist and science writer, she tells the story of the adventure, science, politics, and love behind it all. In How to Tame a Fox, Dugatkin and Trut take us inside this path-breaking experiment in the midst of the brutal winters of Siberia to reveal how scientific history is made and continues to be made today. To date, fifty-six generations of foxes have been domesticated, and we continue to learn significant lessons from them about the genetic and behavioral evolution of domesticated animals. How to Tame a Fox offers an incredible tale of scientists at work, while also celebrating the deep attachments that have brought humans and animals together throughout time.
