Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Dog and His Uses to Mankind The lasting and admittedly well-deserved liking for dogs held by the peoples of the Western civiliza tion has stimulated the output of a vast literature dealing with them from almost every conceivable standpoint. As a result there is very little that, strictly speaking, can be called new to be said about them, except perhaps on the purely scientific side. But to write a fresh book, worth publishing on the subject, required patience and diligence in biblio graphical research, astuteness in selecting for treat ment such aspects of their story as will make a wide appeal and a standard of intelligence regrettably rare in amateur compilers of books on animals. Happily Cecil G. Trew is well equipped for the task he undertook and being gifted as well with artistic skill he has added considerably to the valm and interest of his volume by the plates and text figures with which he has illustrated it.

Download or read book Our Oldest Companions written by Pat Shipman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the dog become manÕs best friend? A celebrated anthropologist unearths the mysterious origins of the unique partnership that rewrote the history of both species. Dogs and humans have been inseparable for more than 40,000 years. The relationship has proved to be a pivotal development in our evolutionary history. The same is also true for our canine friends; our connection with them has had much to do with their essential nature and survival. How and why did humans and dogs find their futures together, and how have these close companions (literally) shaped each other? Award-winning anthropologist Pat Shipman finds answers in prehistory and the present day. In Our Oldest Companions, Shipman untangles the genetic and archaeological evidence of the first dogs. She follows the trail of the wolf-dog, neither prehistoric wolf nor modern dog, whose bones offer tantalizing clues about the earliest stages of domestication. She considers the enigma of the dingo, not quite domesticated yet not entirely wild, who has lived intimately with humans for thousands of years while actively resisting control or training. Shipman tells how scientists are shedding new light on the origins of the unique relationship between our two species, revealing how deep bonds formed between humans and canines as our guardians, playmates, shepherds, and hunters. Along the journey together, dogs have changed physically, behaviorally, and emotionally, as humans too have been transformed. DogsÕ labor dramatically expanded the range of human capability, altering our diets and habitats and contributing to our very survival. Shipman proves that we cannot understand our own history as a species without recognizing the central role that dogs have played in it.
Download or read book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time written by Mark Haddon and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestselling modern classic—both poignant and funny—narrated by a fifteen year old autistic savant obsessed with Sherlock Holmes, this dazzling novel weaves together an old-fashioned mystery, a contemporary coming-of-age story, and a fascinating excursion into a mind incapable of processing emotions. Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, Christopher is autistic. Everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning for him. At fifteen, Christopher’s carefully constructed world falls apart when he finds his neighbour’s dog Wellington impaled on a garden fork, and he is initially blamed for the killing. Christopher decides that he will track down the real killer, and turns to his favourite fictional character, the impeccably logical Sherlock Holmes, for inspiration. But the investigation leads him down some unexpected paths and ultimately brings him face to face with the dissolution of his parents’ marriage. As Christopher tries to deal with the crisis within his own family, the narrative draws readers into the workings of Christopher’s mind. And herein lies the key to the brilliance of Mark Haddon’s choice of narrator: The most wrenching of emotional moments are chronicled by a boy who cannot fathom emotions. The effect is dazzling, making for one of the freshest debut in years: a comedy, a tearjerker, a mystery story, a novel of exceptional literary merit that is great fun to read.

Download or read book The Dominion of Man Classic Reprint written by J. G. Wood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dominion of Man What is signified by Dominion? - Its various manifestations - The power to kill and the power to tame - Primitive man and the contemporary animals - The mastodon - Mammoth and elephant - The primitive horse - Ancient artists - Modern horses - Traction and burden - The horse a beast of chase - The Stone Age of the present day - Ethnology and Zoology - The Australian compared with the Indian and negro. As far as we know, there has never existed any race of mankind which has not in some way exercised that dominion over the lower animals to which man is entitled by virtue of his birth. Even among the earliest pre-historic races there is sufficient evidence to show that, although the wild animals which existed in those remote ages were larger, more powerful, more numerous, and, in all probability, more formidable antagonists than any which are found at the present day, man could not only cope with them but overcome them.

Download or read book Man s Best Friend the Dog written by George B. Taylor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Man's Best Friend, the Dog: A Treatise Upon the Dog This little work will not treat of the dog, man's dumb friend, as a sporting or a fighting animal, but will dis cuss it as a companion of the human race and a guar dian and ornament of the home. Those who delight in the pugnacity of certain breeds and the cultivators of freak dogs are not friends of the noble animal and have no place here. The author is mindful of Shakespeare's caption, but if you possess a dog, gentle reader, you may in these chapters discover how the better to care for it. If you contemplate owning one, remember Mr. Punch's advice to young persons about to marry, Do not own a dog - unless you are prepared to treat it, in a certain sense, as one of the family, to give it All the comforts of home and, in more ways than one, be its patient, faithful Servant. Be also prepared to submit to not a little inconvenience in shaping out its daily life in order that, instead of a nuisance, it may become a healthy, joyous creature that will have a lasting hold on your affections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dog Stories From the Spectator: Being Anecdotes of the Intelligence, Reasoning Power Incidence or to hallucination. As far as I can see, the evidence shows that dogs do understand a good deal of human speech, though how they learn it remains a mystery. But in reality, and in practice, everyone admits this ability to understand human speech in the dog, though strenu ous protests in the name of common-sense are made the moment anyone ventures to face the fact and put it boldly forward. Nobody doubts that a dog knows his own name and answers to it when called. But what is this but understanding human speech? If every dog can do this, why should not some dogs of exceptional quick ness learn more than the one word, and so get a wider knowledge of human speech? Surely it is only the first word that matters. After that, knowing the whole dictionary is only a matter of degree. But though dogs seem able to understand our language, it is very curious to notice how utterly we fail to understand theirs. This point has been touched on by that able and eminent judge of the Queen's Bench Division, Sir Henryiv preface TO the second edition.
