Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. How museums display extinct speciesand what these exhibits say about us. While it's no longer possible to encounter a dodo in the wild, we can still come face-to-face with them in museums. The remains of extinct specieswhether taxidermied, skeletal, drawn, or sculptedstare back at us from display cases. In this moving meditation on what's lost and what endures, environmental historian Dolly Jorgensen visits natural history collections worldwidefrom Shanghai to Philadelphia, from Edinburgh to Hobart, Australiato understand the many ways that museums tell stories about extinction. She encounters extinct animals that are framed as cultural artifacts and as rare valuables, that are memorialized with lists, and that are brought to life through augmented reality. She draws our attention to creatures with prominent afterlivespassenger pigeons, giant moas, thylacinesas well as those that are less likely to be discussed or displayed. Throughout, Jorgensen examines the relationship between museums and the natural world, so readers can look more closely at exhibits about extinction, studying the displays for what is there, as well as what is missing. During a period of rapid species loss driven by humanity's environmental impact, Ghosts Behind Glass asks what we can learn about our world from the presence of the extinct.

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. Examines the role of the pig in medieval society in material and textual sources.The pig was a common sight in the Middle Ages. They might be eating under an oak tree, or out in a field. They might be in the street, with the swineherd close behind at their heels. They might be dismembered, for sale by a butcher. They might be represented on misericords, in a church or cathedral, dancing, playing the bagpipes, or suckling people. Pigs were in all these places. But what was the pig's place? This book considers pigs in medieval Europe from a number of angles: whether part of the countryside, the cityscape, on the plate or in the mind. Drawing on a rich wealth of sources, both textual and material, it examines in particular the paradoxes that the pig presented: both good and bad, fecund/fornicator, noble/filthy. It uncovers the pig's numerous roles in medieval society, how pigs shaped human life, and how humans shaped theirs.
