About two years ago, when God looked around and spied Cora, a ragamuffin orphaned cat and Barbara, a disheveled, lonely 90-year-old widow, he knew there was a need for a call to action. It must have broken his kind heart to see Cora's once lustrous fur, now dull and matted from weeks of living alone in a dark closet and to despair at Barbara's tangled, unbrushed hair, slouched shoulders and worn and saggy jammies.God knew how uncomfortable-itchy and grimy-these two must feel, but he knew they needed more than a bath and cosmetic fixes. More than anything, this desultory duo needed compassion, friendship, love, warmth, understanding and heaps of hugs. In short, they needed each other. And so, God gave them as gifts to each other. Clearly they went together like peanut butter and jelly or gin and tonic. It was easy, not just because these were divine actions, but because Cora and Barbara lived in a retirement community on the same floor (the 13th) and same hallway.Cora was hiding in the closet because Marjorie, her owner, was dying, and the apartment was crammed with hospital equipment, nurses, aides, family and friends. Barbara was living a life of boredom alone at the other end of the hall because Ward, her husband of 56 years, a retired naval officer had suddenly died. During their married life, Barbara and Ward had joyfully traveled the world-to 100 countries. Now, mourning and alone, Barbara had no urge to travel. She wasn't pleased to admit it to herself, but she had no purpose in life.Well, God took care of that by sending Cora down the hall to be cared for when Marjorie died. She was a gift from God to Barbara. What a gift! A ramshackle little cat who was not only orphaned, but deaf! Well, so was Barbara. What a pair.

Und keine Sorge, ich rede hier nicht nur in Fachchinesisch! Das Buch ist prall gefüllt mit leicht verständlichen Infos, handfesten Tipps und dem nötigen Wissen, um deinen Hund in Topform zu halten.Ob du nun einen frechen Welpen zu Hause hast, der alles in die Pfoten kriegt, oder einen ruhigeren Senior, der seine Goldenen Jahre in vollen Zügen genießt - ich habe die passenden Ernährungstipps für jeden Lebensabschnitt.

Obwohl die Menschheit bereits das Wissen hat, um unsere Nachbarplaneten aufsuchen zu können, sind ihre Kenntnisse, was die eigene Umgebung anbetrifft, immer noch bruchstückhaft. Dabei gibt es auch auf der Erde noch so viel zu entdecken! Das Wesen von möglichen außerirdischen Organismen könnte uns nicht mehr überraschen als unsere eigenen Mitbewohner, die Wildtiere. Ihre besonderen Fähigkeiten übertreffen bei weitem den eigenen Entwicklungsstand. Der Autor lenkt das Augenmerk aber auch auf das trostlose und gefahrvolle Leben in der Wildnis. Der Mensch hat es glücklicherweise weitgehend geschafft, sich daraus zu befreien. Aber was machen wir mit unseren Weggefährten? Haben wir hier eine moralische Verpflichtung? Eine Antwort darauf würde uns auch helfen, unsere Heimat wieder als das zu erkennen was sie ist, nämlich ein blaues Juwel im lebensfeindlichen Weltraum.

"For the first time, fish became our companions and a corner of many a Victorian parlour was given over to housing tiny fragments of their world enclosed in glass."The experience of seeing a fish swimming in a glass tank is one we take for granted now but in Victorian England this was a remarkable sight. People had simply not been able to see fish as they now could with the invention of the aquarium and everything that went with it.Goldfish in the Parlour looks at the boom in the building of public aquariums, as well as the craze for home aquariums and visiting the seaside, during the reign of Queen Victoria. Furthermore, this book considers how people see and meet animals and, importantly, in what institutions and in what contexts these encounters happen.John Simons uncovers the sweeping consequences of the Victorian obsession with marine animals by looking at naturalist Frank Buckland's Museum of Economic Fish Culture and the role of fish in the Victorian economy, the development of angling as a sport divided along class lines, the seeding of Empire with British fish and comparisons with aquarium building in Europe, USA and Australia.Goldfish in the Parlour interrogates the craze that took over Victorian England when aquariums "introduced" fish to parks, zoos and parlours.
