To Leave with the Reindeer is the account of a woman who has been trained for a life she cannot live. She readies herself for freedom, and questions its limits, by exploring how humans relate to animals. Rosenthal weaves an intricate pattern, combining the central narrative with many other voices – vets, farmers, breeders, trainers, a butcher – to produce a polyphonic composition full of fascinating and disconcerting insights. Wise, precise, generous, To Leave with the Reindeer takes a clear-eyed look at the dilemmas of domestication, both human and animal, and the price we might pay to break free. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Olivia Rosenthal is a French novelist and teacher of creative writing. She lectures at Université Paris VIII, where she and a colleague founded one of the first Creative Writing MA programmes in France. Rosenthal’s work has won numerous prizes, including the Prix Wepler, the Prix du Livre Inter and the Prix Alexandre-Vialatte. Sophie Lewis translates from French and Portuguese.She has translated works by Stendhal, Verne, Marcel Aymé, Violette Leduc, Emmanuelle Pagano, Jean-Luc Raharimanana, Sheyla Smanioto and João Gilberto Noll, among others. "This polyphonic novel portrays a merciless war waged by humanity on wild nature. This is the battleground where the author tears to pieces today’s education, imposed behaviours and conventions." Elle (France) "'Tigon, leopon, pumapard, jaglion, tiguar, jagulep, leoger, tigoness, lipard, jagress . .' Olivia Rosenthal’s book is like the chimerical animals she lists on the first page. It is a hybrid, a strange and disconcerting cross; a sphinx of a book: half-human, half-beast." Les Inrockuptibles "In To Leave with the Reindeer, Olivia Rosenthal recounts the painful metamorphosis of an obedient animal into a liberated woman . There’s no complacency in this intense work; it is moving in its precision and in the perfect match between voice and subject." Canard Enchaîné "Apparently lurching, disparate, this novel about domestication in fact coheres, born by a strong rhythmic sensibility and by subtle play on repetition. Poetic and humorous, To Leave with the Reindeer explores our illusions, the destruction of our childhood dreams and the savagery that we hide deep within ourselves." Télérama "Olivia Rosenthal subtly layers short paragraphs, swinging between the daily life of her homo sapiens and clinical statements about animal life. [. ] This is a novel that will haunts its reader for days. And that will, above all, awake the animal in us." L’Express "Brilliant, exciting, and never moralizing." Vogue (France) "Book after book, Rosenthal has taken care to dress her iconoclasm in a unique approach made up of stylistic accumulations and shrewd collages." Livres Hebdo "To Leave with the Reindeer offers startling and frequently beautiful ruminations on the way the tension between wildness and domesticity affects both humans and beasts. By eschewing most of the qualities of a traditional novel, Rosenthal's book takes risks, which offer luminous moments." Kirkus Reviews. "Olivia Rosenthal captures the world of the child with inchoate wants and needs, inexplicable to others and herself, in vivid and concise vignettes, against a background of information and opinions about animals and how we treat them – for food, education and, then, to make ourselves feel better after destroying their habitats. This is rich, allusive and evocative." Lucy Dallas, The Times Literary Supplement. "Captivating and strange novel" Dundee University Review of the Arts. To Leave with the Reindeer.

Haldane Animals are not brethren, they are not underlings. They are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time. Henry Beston 3.1 Instead of beginning a review of Homo Sapiens’ Most Important Properties by talking about the complex and puzzling Ability to Speak, it is clarifying to focus first on the simpler, and earlier acquired, Ability to Tame and Exploit some of their fellow Creatures What would you guess is the most numerous and common type of bird that now inhabits our planet? Is it the sparrow—e.g. the House Sparrow? Or the starling? Or the seagull— e.g. the Herring Gull? If my local newspaper is to be believed, the correct answer (by a very wide margin) is the chicken. The author of the short newspaper article from which I learned this prima facie fact did not have in mind the Prairie Chicken, of various species, which is listed in the index of my copy of Roger Tory Peterson’s A Field Guide to the Birds (1964, p.277). Instead, the subject of this article was the domesticated chicken, comprised of familiar varieties like Rhode Island Red, White Leghorn, etc., whose meat you find for sale in grocery stores. In fact, humans eat the incredible number of about 30 billion of these birds each year, more than 1,000 per second. Nevertheless, Peterson does not see fit to discuss them at all in his book.

If progeny derived from distant hybridiza- tion are bisexual and fertile, they can form a hybrid lineage through self-mating, with major implications for evolutionary bi- ology, genetics, and breeding. Here, we review and summarize the published literature, and present our results on fish distant hybridization. Relevant problems involving distant hybridization between orders, families, subfamilies, genera, and species of animals are introduced and discussed, with an additional focus on fish distant hybrid lineages, genetic variation, patterns, and applications. Our review serves as a useful reference for evolutionary biology research and animal genetic breeding. distant hybridization, lineage, tetraploid, triploid, genetic breeding, application Citation: Zhang ZH, Chen J, Li L, Tao M, Zhang C, Qin QB, Xiao J, Liu Y, Liu SJ.

  • Thorns Also and Thistles
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 23/1 (2012):18-45. Article copyright © 2012 by Warren A. Shipton. Thorns Also and Thistles Warren A. Shipton Ellen G. White Heritage Research Centre Asia-Pacific International University, Thailand 1. Introduction The principles of God’s government were expressed in the beauties of His creation and the harmonious relationships which existed among His creatures (Gen 1:31; Isa 65:17-19, 24, 25; cf. Rev 21:3, 4, 8). There was one individual, however, who was determined to change all this. His dissatisfaction with God’s government commenced in heaven and progressed so that finally Lucifer found himself barred from its inner courts but with access to other parts of God’s created universe. Now we find that on earth he has despoiled that which was once perfect and good and thereby has added to the cup of human misery. In this article I examine the biblical record, selected evidences of science, and the resources of the Spirit of Prophecy in an attempt to answer some of the basic questions regarding the nature of selected curses proclaimed by God on the earth after the Fall. I attempt to reconstruct scenarios which help us to understand the intent of and methods used by Satan to deface and change nature and lead humanity to deface the image of God. This will help us to relate to events happening in the world around us in a more intelligent manner and will aid in understanding statements on amalgamation made by Ellen White. I will show that these statements are coherent and have deep meaning and relevance today.

  • Post-Zoo Design: Alternative Futures in the Anthropocene
    Post-Zoo Design: Alternative Futures in the Anthropocene by Rua Alshaheen A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2019 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Renata Hejduk, Chair Braden Allenby Ed Finn Darren Petrucci ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2019 ©2019 Rua Alshaheen All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Public awareness of nature and environmental issues has grown in the last decades and zoos have successfully followed suit by re-branding themselves as key representatives for conservation. However, considering the fast rate of environmental degradation, in the near future, zoos may become the only place left for wildlife. Some scholars argue that we have entered a new epoch titled the “Anthropocene” that postulates the idea that untouched pristine nature is almost nowhere to be found.1 Many scientists and scholars argue that it is time that we embraced this environmental situation and anticipated the change. 2 Clearly, the impact of urbanization is reaching into the wild, so how can we design for animals in our artificializing world? Using the Manoa School method that argues that every future includes these four, generic, alternatives: growth, discipline, collapse, and transformation3, this dissertation explores possible future animal archetypes by considering multiple possibilities of post zoo design.
