Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Famously feisty Tasmanian devils and perpetually ravenous hyenas may not seem to have a lot in common. However, both carnivores are ready to kill at a moment's notice. For those who wonder what would happen if one beast was pitted against another, this lively volume has the answers.

Incredible action photographs demonstrate key points in the text, giving readers a ringside seat to a wild fight to the finish.
Download or read book Hyena written by Mikita Brottman and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hyenas are almost universally regarded as nasty, scheming charlatans that skulk in the back alleyways of the animal kingdom. They have been scorned for centuries as little more than scavenging carrion-eaters, vandals, and thieves. Here to restore the Hyena’s reputation is Mikita Brottman, who offers an alternate view of these mistreated and misunderstood creatures and proves that they are complex, intelligent, and highly sociable animals. Investigating representations of the hyena throughout history, Brottman divulges that the hyena, though shrouded in taboo, has been the source of talismanic objects since the ancient Greek and Roman empires. She discovers that many cultures use parts of the hyena—from excrement and blood to genitalia and hair—to make charms that both avert evil and promote fertility. Brottman also considers representations of hyenas in today’s popular fiction, including The Lion King and The Life of Pi,where they are often depicted as villains, cowardly henchmen, or clowns, while ignoring their more noble qualities. Rightly returning hyenas to their proper place in the animal pantheon, this richly illustrated book will be enjoyed by any animal lover with an interest in the unusual and offbeat.

Download or read book War written by Thomas Baty and published by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legal Ramifications of the First World War. Originally published: New York: E.P. Dutton and Company, 1915. xxviii, 578 pp. The authors argue that the First World War effectively ended the existing system of international law, a system that was already in decline due to the growing economic and political interdependence of states. These changes have created a new set of problems that will provide the basis of a new system of international law when the war ends. In addition to supplying an intellectual framework for this new system, Baty and Morgan address practical topics, such as international arbitration, and more abstract issues, such as the clash between nationalism and cosmopolitanism. "[V]ery good reading....It is a thoughtful book." --T.S.W., Yale Law Journal 19:313-314. THOMAS BATY [1868-1954] taught law at Oxford University and was a joint secretary of the International Law Association. In 1915, the year War was published, Baty became the foreign legal advisor to the Japanese government and moved to Japan. He is also the author of the well-known work, International Law (1909) and International Law in Twilight (1954). J.H. MORGAN [1876-1955] was a Liberal candidate for Parliament in 1910. A legal editor of the Encyclopedia Britannica (14th edition), he was professor of constitutional law at the University of London and legal adviser to the War Crimes Commission at Nuremberg from 1947 to 1949.

Download or read book Jewish Soldiers in the Collective Memory of Central Europe written by Gerald Lamprecht and published by Böhlau Wien. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War I marks a huge break in Central European Jewish history. Not only had the violent wartime events destroyed Jewish life and especially the living space of Eastern European Jews, but the impacts of war, the geopolitical change and a radicalization of anti-Semitism also led to a crisis of Jewish identity. Furthermore, during the process of national self-discovery and the establishing of new states the societal position of the Jews and their relationship to the state had to be redefined. These partially violent processes, which were always accompanied by anti-Semitism, evoked Jewish and Gentile debates, in which questions about Jewish loyalty to the old and/or new states as well as concepts of Jewish identity under the new political circumstances were negotiated. This volume collects articles dealing with these Jewish and gentile debates about military service and war memory in Central Europe.

Download or read book Ted Hughes and Trauma written by Danny O'Connor and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a radical re-appraisal of the poetry of Ted Hughes, placing him in the context of continental theorists such as Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida and Slavoj Zizek to address the traumas of his work. As an undergraduate, Hughes was visited in his sleep by a burnt fox/man who left a bloody handprint on his essay, warning him of the dangers of literary criticism. Hereafter, criticism became ‘burning the foxes’. This book offers a defence of literary criticism, drawing Hughes’ poetry and prose into the network of theoretical work he dismissed as ‘the tyrant’s whisper’ by demonstrating a shared concern with trauma. Covering a wide range of Hughes’ work, it explores the various traumas that define his writing. Whether it is comparing his idea of man as split from nature with that of Jacques Lacan, considering his challenging relationship with language in light of Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida, seeing him in the art gallery and at the movies with Gilles Deleuze, or considering his troubled relationship with femininity in regard to Teresa Brennan and Slavoj Žižek, Burning the Foxes offers a fresh look at a familiar poet.
