Amidst growing awareness over the past half century that human activity threatens our natural environment, many of the world’s largest cities have played a role in the sustainability movement, as seen by such initiatives as Day of Cities sponsored by the United Nations.

भारत बहुभाषिक तथा बहुसांस्कृतिक देश है। यहाँ की भौगोलिक, सामाजिक, पारंपरिक, भाषिक विविधता, विविध धर्म, जाति, भाषा-भूषा को देखते कोई विदेशी व्यक्ति अवश्य चकित होगा। 'कोस-कोस पर बदले पानी हुए चार कोस पर बानी' जैसी कहावत भारतीय नागरिकों के लिए नई नहीं है। यद्यपि यह विविधता...
Spätestens seitdem die Animal Studies nicht nur die Geschichtlichkeit von Tieren, sondern auch deren Geschichtsmächtigkeit betonen, bezieht sich Geschichte nicht mehr automatisch nur auf Menschen. In der Animal History sind Tiere nicht länger bloße semiotische Zeichen, um mit ihnen (menschliche) Geschichte(n) zu erzählen. Vielmehr werden Tiere zu eigenen, widerständigen Wesen, welche die ihnen zugesprochenen Zeichen und Semantiken in Frage stellen, überschreiten oder umkehren. Tiergeschichten sind Geschichten, die über Tiere erzählt werden, und Geschichten, die Tiere über sich selbst erzählen. Tiergeschichten bildet den zweiten Teil von Tiere erzählen, der vorangegangenen Ausgabe von Tierstudien. Diesmal stammen die Beiträge vor allem aus den Literatur- und Geschichtswissenschaften, aber auch aus der Archäologie, Pädagogik, Kulturanthropologie und den Filmwissenschaften. Zu den Tieren, die im Mittelpunkt der Texte stehen, gehören Eisbären, Bienen, Habichte, Schweine, Rinder, Wölfe und Kondore.
