Dyr

Tiden med valp er intens, morsom og lærerik, og her får du hjelp med alt du lurer på. En valp må sosialiseres med både mennesker og dyr, den må vennes til alt fra å få klørne klippet til å være alene hjemme, den må lære seg å gjøre fra seg ute, komme når vi roper og hilse pent. Med en god innsats i valpeperioden unngår du problemer senere, og du får du en lykkelig og lydig bestevenn.

The equine hoof is a complex marvel of natural engineering, built to withstand tremendous forces and able to adapt to an astonishing range of environmental conditions. It also changes daily‿for better or for worse‿in response to external and internal factors. Few horse owners have the opportunity to acquire a deep understanding of the hoof, which limits their ability to advocate on their horses' behalf and make informed decisions about hoof care and management. This book is the first resource of its kind to combine the most current and useful information available, gleaned from the research and wisdom of top hoof experts around the world, with a unique 'hands-on' approach. The authors provide basic terms and anatomy, clearly illustrate the differences between healthy and unhealthy feet, discuss biomechanics and management concerns, and cover the causes, treatments, and prevention of commonly encountered problems, including laminitis, white line disease, and thrush. Along the way, readers are given activities to help them better analyse and understand the most important aspects of equine hoof health, such as hoof balance, depth of sole, and point of breakover. Easy‿to‿follow language, over 400 full‿colour photographs, and do‿it‿yourself exercises promise to empower horse owners and caretakers of all experience levels with the tools they need to accurately assess hoof health and keep their horses as sound and happy as possible.

En bog som alle katteejere eller kommende katteejere bør have i deres hjem.Nogle af bogens emner er:* Sammenføring af individer (mennesker som dyr) på bedste måde for alle parter.* Hvad "fortæller" katten dig, når ørerne, øjnene, halen, kroppen, lydene gør sådan eller sådan? - hvordan kan I kommunikere og forstå hinanden i stedet for at "misforstå" hinanden?* Kattens drifter - altså alt det der gør, at en kat gør det som den gør.* Aktivering og stimulering - daglig opfyldelse af kattens behov - gennem leg og udfordringer - for at forebygge adfærdsproblemer, herunder hvordan får man en velopdragen kat.* Årsager, forebyggelse og løsningsmodeller ved adfærdsproblemer som f.eks. urenlighed, aggression, destruktion, depression, manglende socialisering, sky og angste katte...* Hvad er naturlig mad til katte, livsstilssygdomme, menuer, kostplaner...?Bogens tilblivelse er sket under mottoet: "Det er trods alt bedre at forebygge end at helbrede og alt for mange er af den overbevisning at katten kan klare alt selv, fordi den er sin egen - det gælder bare ikke for katten indenfor husets 4 vægge".

What does it mean to be intelligent? Is it something unique to humans - or do we share it with other beings? Recent years have seen rapid advances in 'artificial' intelligence, which increasingly appears to be something stranger than we ever imagined. At the same time, we are becoming more aware of the other intelligences which have been with us all along, unrecognized. These other beings are the animals, plants, and natural systems that surround us, and are slowly revealing their complexity and knowledge - just as the new technologies we've built are threatening to cause their extinction, and ours. In Ways of Being, writer and artist James Bridle considers the fascinating, uncanny and multiple ways of existing on earth. What can we learn from these other forms of intelligence and personhood, and how can we change our societies to live more equitably with one another and the non-human world? From Greek oracles to octopuses, forests to satellites, Bridle tells a radical new story about ecology, technology and intelligence. We must, they argue, expand our definition of these terms to build a meaningful and free relationship with the non-human, one based on solidarity and cognitive diversity. We have so much to learn, and many worlds to gain.
