Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -It has been stated often that only humans make tools, deceive and plan far into the future - these exceptions have helped us define ourselves as the planets pre-eminent species. But in recent decades, these beliefs have been eroded by advances in the field of animal cognition. A growing body of evidence uncovered through the experimental techniques of behaviourism and the longitudinal study of named individuals from Japanese primatology, shows that we have grossly underestimated both the scope and scale of animal intelligence. Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are stands traditional behaviourism on its head to display the fascinating ways in which animals reveal their extraordinary intelligence. 340 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Reflecting on her long and celebrated career in poetry, two-time National Book Award finalist Linda Pastan was struck by the number of dogs that have appeared in her poems-whether as the primary subject or in the briefest of allusions. Dogs run through these poems, so to speak. The poems span the lighthearted to the serious, from the antics of training a recalcitrant dog to the grief at a beloved dog's death. With warmth, dignity, and quiet power, Pastan explores the many roles of these devoted animals, from household pet to Argos, Pluto, and the Dog Star. 80 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -As an aging, tenacious Elizabeth I clung to power, a talented playwright probed the social causes, the psychological roots, and the twisted consequences of tyranny.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Considered by Rumi to be 'the master' of Sufi mystic poetry, Attar is best known for his epic poem The Conference of the Birds, a magnificent allegorical tale about the soul's search for meaning. The poem recounts the perilous journey of the world's birds to the faraway peaks of Mount Qaf, in search of the mysterious Simurgh, their king. Attar's beguiling anecdotes and humour intermingle the sublime with the mundane, the spiritual with the worldly, and the religious with the metaphysical. Reflecting the entire evolution of Sufi mystic tradition, Attar's poem models the soul's escape from the mind's rational embrace. 384 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The birth of the Royal Air Force during World War I marked a pivotal moment in modern military and political history. With Europe's western front frozen in a bloody stalemate of trench warfare, both sides sought some means of directly attacking enemy resources and morale. The new technologies of air power were used at first for reconnaissance of enemy positions for artillery strikes. By 1917 German bombers had begun raids on British cities, including an attack on London that killed hundreds, with eighteen schoolchildren among the casualties. Public outrage in Britain sparked a call for air defense and spurred political support for an independent air ministry. Prime Minister David Lloyd George and his minister of munitions, Winston Churchill, led the debates over how to shape Britain's air power during the war. The immediate path to an independent RAF is a fascinating story of political, bureaucratic, and personal rivalries. 160 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Because, explores with extraordinary literary power and sophistication the toxic power of adults who prey on the children in their care. It begins when Joshua Mensch is ten years old and meets Don, the charming director of a youth wilderness camp and a lifelong friend of his parents. What follows is a harrowing account of sexual and psychological abuse, told from the evolving perspective of a child entering adolescence. The memoir's swift, convincing music, propelled by the powerful litany of the word 'because', builds a heartbreaking tale of power whose characters are as complex and fully realised as those in a novel.
