Critical Animal Geographies

  • Publisher: Routledge

Critical Animal Geographies provides new geographical perspectives on critical animal studies, exploring the spatial, political, and ethical dimensions of animals’ lived experience and human-animal encounter. It works toward a more radical politics and theory directed at the shifting boundary between human and animal. Chapters draw together feminist, political-economic, post-humanist, anarchist, post-colonial, and critical race literatures with original case studies in order to see how efforts by some humans to control and order life – human and not – violate, constrain, and impinge upon others. Central to all chapters is a commitment to grappling with the stakes – violence, death, life, autonomy – of human-animal encounters. Equally, the work in the collection addresses head-on the dominant forces shaping and dependent on these encounters: capitalism, racism, colonialism, and so on. In doing so, the book pushes readers to confront how human-animal relations are mixed up with overlapping axes of power and exploitation, including gender, race, class, and species.

The Mystic Spiral

As the inward-winding labyrinth, it constitutes the hero's journey to the still center where the secret of life is found. As the spherical vortex, spiraling through its own center, it combines the inward and outward directions of movement. In this original and engrossing book, Jill Purce traces the significance of one man's central symbols from the double spirals of Stone Age art and the interlocking spirals of the Chinese Yin Yang symbol to the whorls of Celtic crosses, Maori tattoos and the Islamic arabesque. Many of the superb images here were intended as objects of contemplation; for the spiral is a cosmic symbol. Art and Imagination series: These large-format, gloriously-illustrated paperbacks cover Eastern and Western religion and philosophy, including myth and magic, alchemy and astrology. The distinguished authors bring a wealth of knowledge, visionary thinking and accessible writing to each intriguing subject.

Ancient Kings and Everyday Lessons

If you love looking at history and seeing God’s perfect plan in everything, then this is the right book for you. The kings of divided Israel reigned from approximately 950 BC to 586 BC. Unlike Saul, David, and Solomon, the great kings of the united kingdom of Israel, their stories are not particularly well known except by Bible scholars and preachers. This book was written to demystify them, to get under their skin and understand what we can of what motivated them, the pressure they were under, and the effect of their reigns on themselves, their nation, and the people they governed. It will also give you the chance to think about some of the issues brought to light by the lives of these kings. In each chapter there is a section which brings these issues to the reader to challenge them about themselves and their attitude to the God who made them and inspired the biblical authors to write about these kings.
