Survivors in Armor
From the author of New Animal Discoveries, which was nominated by the Canadian Children`s Bookcentre for the 2001 Norma Fleck Award, comes another beautiful and exciting book about some of the world`s most fascinating reptiles. In Survivors In Armor, Dr. Ronald Orenstein explores the evolution, life and survival of some of the world`s most ancient and beautiful species. Turtles, almost alone among reptiles, have earned both human interest and affection; however, our fascination has not helped their survival. Sought after for food, as pets and for tortoiseshell, their habitats are under attack on land and sea. Turtle populations are in decline around the world. Understanding turtles is not only interesting, but important to ensure their continued survival.(2001)

A concluding chapter examines changing trends in methods of attack and the effectiveness of various movements.

Essays on Modern Kurdish Literature
Literature, images, and metaphor are often where most of a nation’s history are embedded. A study of modern Kurdish literature highlights a fealty to a rich literary past and a rich source of historiography. The articles in this volume address many facets of the literary in the Kurdish world: proverbs, feminist literature, and resistance in literary works, poetry, prose, etc. In the end, the volume offers a general paradigm of the complex literary framework of the Kurds, their continuous resistance for nationhood in their history, and their modern reinventing of the self. An overview of some of the works in modern Kurdish literature points to both asymmetry and commonality in comparative literary studies. These works highight the thematic reach in Kurdish literary studies.

Living with Herds
Domestic animals have lived with humans for thousands of years and remain essential to the everyday lives of people throughout the world. In this book, Natasha Fijn examines the process of animal domestication in a study that blends biological and social anthropology, ethology and ethnography. She examines the social behavior of humans and animals in a contemporary Mongolian herding society. After living with Mongolian herding families, Dr Fijn has observed through firsthand experience both sides of the human-animal relationship. Examining their reciprocal social behavior and communication with one another, she demonstrates how herd animals influence Mongolian herders' lives and how the animals themselves are active partners in the domestication process.
