This volume explores how twentieth- and twenty-first-century literary texts engage with relationships between humans and other animals.

Basic Elements of Narrative outlines a way of thinking about what narrative is and how to identify its basic elements across various media, introducing key concepts developed by previous theorists and contributing original ideas to the growing body of scholarship on stories.

Thinking with The Eye's Mind demonstrates how to successfully review and develop ideas and plans that have yet to fulfil their original promise. It does so by way of a 14-chapter text and two free online applications designed for business and personal planning.After reading this book you'll come to realize that there is no excuse for letting your best ideas and plans fall by the wayside for lack of an easily employable testing procedure. Not until they have been tested in a special visually-oriented project-planning system called the Universal Template (U-Template(TM)).Once you learn how to let your eyes do the work they're intended to do, you'll never abandon a worthwhile idea again.

Showing how questions of narrative bear on ideas of species difference and assumptions about animal minds, Narratology beyond the Human underscores our inextricable interconnectedness with other forms of creatural life and suggests that stories can be used to resituate imaginaries of human action in a more-than-human world.

Argues that narrative is simultaneously a cognitive style, a discourse genre, and a resource for writing. Because stories are strategies that help humans make sense of their world, narratives not only have a logic but also are a logic in their own right, providing an irreplaceable resource for structuring and comprehending experience.
