Animal to Edible
Why do we find it necessary to slaughter living animals in order to enjoy their flesh? And why does this act offend our sensibilities, without necessarily making us into vegetarians?

Animal Vocal Communication: A New ApproachHere, a new conceptual framework for looking at animal vocal communication is proposed. It describes animals as managers, attempting to get other animals to behave in ways beneficial to the managing animal, and as assessors, behaving in their own interest that may or not be in the interests of the manager. The authors contend that it is this interplay between management and assessment that results in the functioning and evolution of animal communication. It will be a landmark volume for all those interested in ...Read MoreDetails on Animal Vocal Communication: A New Approach

The Metaphysics of Apes: Negotiating the Animal-Human Boundary
The Metaphysics of Apes traces the discovery and interpretation of the human-like great apes and the ape-like earliest ancestors of present-day humans. It shows how, from the days of Linnaeus to recent research, the sacred and taboo-ridden animal-human boundary was time and again challenged and adjusted. The unique dignity of humans is centrally on the minds of taxonomists, ethnologists, primatologists, and archaeologists, guiding their research considerably and a basic presupposition was that humans are not ...Read MoreDetails on The Metaphysics of Apes: Negotiating the Animal-Human Boundary

Genetics, Demography and Viability of Fragmented Populations (Conservation ...Habitat loss is one of the most serious environmental threats confronting the long-term survival of plants and animals worldwide. As species become restricted to remnant habitats, effective management for conservation requires a quantitative understanding of the effects of habitat fragmentation, and the implications for population viability. This book provides a detailed introduction to the genetic and demographic issues relevant to the conservation of fragmented populations and presents two sets of case ...Read MoreDetails on Genetics, Demography and Viability of Fragmented Populations (Conservation Biology)

Biodiversity Dynamics and Conservation: The Freshwater Fish of Tropical AfricaIf biodiversity is to be conserved, we must understand how biodiversity is maintained before we can hope to find ways to reduce human impact. Tropical systems are amongst the most diverse and most threatened globally, but the diversity of freshwaters are poorly understood. This comprehensive book uses the fish of tropical African systems to show how these systems evolved, what holds them together, and what is tearing them apart. This is an important reference work not only for fish biologists, but for all ...Read MoreDetails on Biodiversity Dynamics and Conservation: The Freshwater Fish of Tropical Africa

The Problem of Animal Generation in Early Modern Philosophy (Cambridge ...This book examines the early modern science of generation, which included the study of animal conception, heredity, and fetal development. Analyzing how it influenced the contemporary treatment of traditional philosophical questions, it also demonstrates how philosophical presuppositions about mechanism, substance, and cause informed the interpretations offered by those conducting empirical research on animal reproduction. Composed of cutting-edge essays written by an international team of leading scholars ...Read MoreIn Stock
